   • The Adapter Configuration page for some adapters contains a form with text fields and other controls for you to enter the adapter configuration properties. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
4. ( optional ) If the Adapter Configuration page for the adapter contains a form for the adapter configuration properties, and you want to enter the property values by using XML, click Switch to XML view, and then click Switchview in the confirmation window.

   Note

   If you switch from form view to the XML view of configuration information for any adapter, and save the configuration information; you cannot switch back to form view for that adapter. If you want to reconfigure that adapter, you must use the XML view.

   • If the Adapter Configuration page for the adapter contains the Properties field, enter the XML configuration document as required for the adapter. For specific configuration requirements, see the TrueSight Orchestration User Guide for the adapter. If the adapter does not require a specific configuration, enter the XML text <config/> in the Properties field.

     Note

     The following table displays the name of each adapter and its online technical information.

   • If the Adapter Configuration page for the adapter contains a form view with separate fields to enter the properties, provide the required information in accordance with the TrueSight Orchestration User Guide for the adapter.
