Customizing the adapter profile

To customize the adapter profile, you must change the adapter profile JAR file. You might customize the adapter profile to change the account form or the service form. You can also change the labels on the forms by using the Form Designer or the CustomLabels.properties file. Each adapter has a CustomLabels.properties file.

About this task

The adapter profile JAR file is included in the adapter compressed file that you downloaded from the IBM® website. The JAR file and the files that are contained in the JAR file vary depending on your operating system and the adapter.

Note: You cannot modify the schemas for this adapter. Attributes cannot be added to or deleted from the schema.
