Hi Gowtham,

you do not need any special Adapter Development Environment additional to the tools mentioned in the above links.

For coding the Adapter you can use the SAP NetWeaver Development Studio. Adapters are Java based so all tools needed are included in the Java perspectives.

To prepare your NWDS you just need to put the Adapter Framework API jar into your classpath.

Hi Christine,

Thanks for the reply,

>> To prepare your NWDS you just need to put the Adapter Framework API jar into your classpath.

Adapter Framework API Jar means??Is that like required jar files for compiling the Adapter Code or a JCA plugin for NWDS for developing adapter.

Actually in Felix weblog /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/12/27/first-eclipse-plug-in-for-xi

see he has given that Plug in for Adapter Development Environment is provided by IBM. See the comments section under What kind of plugins comment he has given the link also.I have downloaded it but not able to install it successfully.

Hi Gowtham,

as i understand Felix Weblog, he has developed his own plug in for message monitoring in XI. It has nothing to do with Adapter development. There is no need for any plug in to be able to develop an adapter.

If you really want to start with adapter development, have a look at this help page: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e9/61e1407e858031e10000000a1550b0/content.htm. It gives information on the sample adapter and sample adapter module, whch are both a good starting point.

Hi christine,

Thanks for the reply,

I have tested the Sample Adapter and i have written a weblog on that->https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/2956. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]

I have done modifications to the sample adapter and successfully tested it.

But in Felix "Ecclipse plugin for XI" weblog in COMMENTS

section(see teh comments on that Weblog) in reply to Michal Krawczyk's question he has given reply that there is already Adapter Development Environment provided by IBM. and given the link "http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/webtools?open&S_TACT=105AGX21&S_CMP=AWRSS"

todownload that.

Hi,

but then, where exactly is your (xi specific) problem? There is a forum on this webtools to be found on alpha works, so probably most problems you could encounter are already solved there.

If you download this tools, you also get a getting started guide. This guide will give you information on how to use this plug in.

Best regards
