OpenEdge Managed Adapter : Working with the OpenEdge Adapter
 

Working with the OpenEdge Adapter

The OpenEdge adapter facilitates the use of OpenEdge procedures in your process workflow. You can use a OpenEdge procedure file or a generated BIZOE file for that procedure, in the added OpenEdge adapter workstep in your process.
Note: If you have installed Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge, you can create a OpenEdge procedure file and generate the BIZOE file. For information regarding these operations, see the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge Guide.
You can configure and map the OpenEdge adapter to identify the OpenEdge application server, including the connection information, the procedure call, and mapping of the assigned dataslots with the parameters of the procedure.
Note: You can view information of the OpenEdge adapter including its configuration details, application server connection settings, and runtime properties in the spring.xml file (available after building the project). You can view this file in the Project Explorer view in the <Process_name>\maps\<OpenEdge_adapter_workstep_name> folder.
To execute the OpenEdge adapter, you need to perform the following operations:
1. Add and configure the OpenEdge adapter workstep, as discussed in Configuring the OpenEdge Adapter.
2. Define the dataslot mapping, as discussed in Definingthe dataslot mapping.
