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.
