API Adapter Hosts

API Adapter components are included with the Data Relationship Management Application Server installation component. An API Adapter Host can be the Data Relationship Management application controller or a secondary Data Relationship Management computer.

Note:

An API Adapter host is only required if you are going to access Data Relationship Management using the Web Services API.

  To configure the Data Relationship Management application controller as the API Adapter Host, enter the application controller computer name, port number, and a certification number to enable SSL. Click the plus sign to add a host computer.

  To configure the API Adapter Host on a secondary computer:

  1. Install the Data Relationship Management Application Server component on the secondary computer.

    Note:

    The Data Relationship Management Web Server component is not required for an API Adapter Host.

    Note:

    Do not launch the Data Relationship Management Console for configuration on the secondary server.

  2. Start the Data Relationship Management service on the secondary server.

  3. On the application controller, under the API Adapter Hosts tab, enter the secondary computer name, port number, and certification number to enable SSL.

  4. Save the configuration and start the Data Relationship Management service on the application controller.

    When properly configured, the drm-api-adapter.exe process will be launched on the API Adapter Host computer(s). To troubleshoot configuration issues, refer to the Windows event logs on the Data Relationship Management application controller and API Adapter Host computers.
