Configuring adapters

Use the Grid Manager Adapters tab to configure adapters.

To configure an adapter

Unknown macro: {multi-excerpt}

In the Grid Manager application, select the Manage tab, and then select the Adapters tab.
In the Adapters on Grid table perform the appropriate action:
- If you want to configure the adapter for the first time, click Configure for that adapter.
- If you want to change the configuration of an adapter that has already been configured, click the name of the adapter.
  The Adapter Configuration page is displayed.
Enter the adapter name and description in the appropriate fields.
The Properties section of the Adapter Configuration page depends on the adapter you are configuring:
- If the Adapter Configuration page contains one Properties field, enter the adapter configuration properties in XML in that field.
- If the Adapter Configuration page contains a form with text fields and other controls, perform the appropriate action:
  - If you want to use the form, enter the adapter configuration properties in the form. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
  - If you want to enter the property values using XML, click Switch to XML view. Click Switch view in the confirmation window.
    
    The Adapter Configuration page is redisplayed with one Properties field. If any of the form fields contained configuration values, those values are included in the XML code in the Properties field.
    
    Enter the adapter configuration properties in XML in the Properties field.
    Note
    
    If you switch from the form view to the XML view of the configuration information for any adapter and save the configuration information, you cannot switch back to the form view for that adapter. If you want to reconfigure that adapter, you must use the XML view.
- If the Adapter Configuration page does not contain any Properties fields, no further configuration is required. You cannot switch to the XML view.
  
  For specific configuration requirements, see the BMC Atrium Orchestrator adapter user guide. If the adapter does not require a specific configuration, enter the following XML text in the Properties field: <config/>
Click OK.

If you switched the configuration from the form view to the XML view, you must also click Save in the confirmation window.
