Publishing Data with Output Adapters

Perform these tasks before you attach an output adapter to an external data destination.

  1. Assess the output data. Determine which sets or subsets of data to send to an external data destination.
  2. Choose an output adapter.
    If the output destination uses datatypes that are not supported by ESP Server, the Server maps the data to valid datatypes. Review the associated mapping description for your adapter in the Adapters Guide.
  3. Configure your adapter.
  4. Create an output stream or window and define the structure for outgoing data.
  5. Use the ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach your adapter to the output stream or window, and set values for the adapter properties.
    The ATTACH ADAPTER statement includes parameters that allow adapter properties to be modified at server runtime.
    Note: You can bind only declared parameters to a new value when a module or project is loaded.
    Data flows through the output stream or window and is sent by the adapter to the external data destination.
