Every type of input and output adapter has properties that you must set for the adapter to function properly.
Examples include the rate at which an adapter should process data, the source from which the adapter obtains data, or the destination to which it delivers data. Some properties are unique to a particular type of adapter. When you click the name of an adapter in the Explorer view, the Properties tab of the Properties view displays the associated properties. Some labels in the Properties tab act as links, displaying or hiding a help summary for the associated property. For additional instructions on setting properties for specific adapter types, see the Sybase CEP Integration Guide.
