Configuring Additional Instances of Server Adapter

Edit online

Although a sample instance of the Server Adapter is included in Sterling B2B Integrator, you can create a new instance of the Server Adapter as needed.

About this task

Before configuring a new instance of the Server Adapter, review the following tips:

  • You can use the sample Server Adapter named BP for your production environment. However, if you plan to use more than one instance of the Server Adapter with a single instance of Sterling Connect:Enterprise®, you must create additional instances of the Server Adapter, with different names.
  • The Sterling Connect:Enterprise Schedule that starts a connection to Sterling B2B Integrator points to a specific resource. This resource is the registered instance of the Server Adapter. Therefore, it may be useful to create and name instances of the Server Adapter based on how they are used in Sterling B2B Integrator (such as SAP, or Rosseta).
