Customizing the Sender and Formatter Processors

Customize the sender processor and the formatter processor for routing the incoming replication events to meet your application needs.

1. Develop your own Java class, implementing APIs that are provided by RepConnector.
2. Define the class in your connection configuration.
3. Modify the server environment.

• Customizing the Sender Processor
  Use the API provided with RepConnector to create custom senders that can route replication events to anywhere that is accessible to Java, such as e-mail applications, files, or printers.
• RepraClient Interface
  A RepraClient interface example.
• RepraCustomClient Interface
  A RepraCustomClient Interface example.
• RepraCustomProps Interface
  A RepraCustomProps Interface example.
• Customizing the Formatter Processor
  Use the Jave API provided with RepConnector to create custom formatters that translate replication events into other formats. RepConnector translates these replication events into XML before delivering them.
• Creating New Custom Sender and Custom Formatter Classes
  Create a user-defined property page by implementing two interfaces: RepraCustomClient and RepraCustomTransactionFormatter.
• DBEventParserFactory Utility
  RepConnector provides a utility called DBEventParserFactory that you can use to extract both metadata and actual data from a single or grouped replication event.
• RaXMLBuilder Utility
  The RaXMLBuilder utility generates an XML message format that contains the database events that a user application sends to RepConnector, to be routed to the database.
• Configuring the RaXMLBuilder
  To configure the RaXMLBuilder, include the repraconn.jar file in your CLASSPATH environment variable setting.
