Before you begin the process of developing an adapter, be sure you have done the following:
Install a supported integration server. See the Installation and Configuration Guide for the specific product.
Install transport software. See the Installation Guide for a list of supported transports.
Understand how to get your data from your application.
What is the data structure?
How do you want to present the data?
Understand how data is sent to your specific application.
Create the appropriate transports. If you are using transports to transport data to and from your adapter, you must create a transport manager and transports or a database instance (EMQ).
