Importing New Adapters

This section explains the process of adding a custom adapter to the Attach Adapters Dialog list of out-of-the-box Sybase CEP adapters.

In Sybase CEP Studio, the Attach Adapters Dialog displays a list of input and output adapters that come with Sybase CEP. When developing a new in-process adapter, you will typically want it to be included in the list of available adapters that you can attach. To do this, either copy the .adl file to Sybase CEP Studio's plugins directory and then re-start Sybase CEP Studio, or, if you don't want to stop and re-start Studio, import the ADL file into Sybase CEP Studio.

To import a new Adapter Definition, go to the Tools menu and select "Import Adapter Definition..." This brings up a list of ADL files that can be selected to import. Select the ADL file for your new adapter. Once successfully imported, the Adapter will be available for selection in the list of Adapters in the Attach Adapter Dialog.
