An external adapter can be developed and configured to support running in
managed-only mode, unmanaged-only mode, or to support both modes.
Managed external adapters:
- are started and stopped by the ESP Server with
an ESP project
- have a cnxml adapter configuration file that is configured within the
ESP Studio
- are referenced in a (CCL) ATTACH ADAPTER statement
Unmanaged external adapters:
- start and stop independently of the ESP Server
and ESP projects
- are configured independently
- are not referenced in a (CCL) ATTACH ADAPTER statement
