Mode is the invocation of a specific method of operation. The e-ADK supports six modes: Schema, Catalog, Schema Remove, Acquire, Deliver, and Process. Each launch of NNSYAdapter39.exe can handle only one mode at a time so a separate instance of NNSYAdapter39.exe is required to handle running more than one mode at a time. The mode in which NNSYAdapter39.exe is run is dependent on the configuration, which is explained in this chapter.
When building an adapter, you must address modes and data representation both during design and during runtime. See “Defining Your Adapter Plug-In” for working with modes and data representation during design time and “Creating Configuration Files for Your Adapter Plug-In” for runtime information. “Methods of Handling Errors” provides information to help you understand how modes work with specific errors.
Sample configuration files are provided in the examples directory. You can use those files as a temple.
