Copying Adapters

One FDM application enables you to load to unlimited target applications. When loading to multiple target system applications, add adapters by repeating the integration procedures.

If multiple target applications of one product are being loaded, you must configure additional adapters. Although the adapters are identical, each is configured for its specific target application. You can copy adapters from within Workbench and integrate the copied adapters with other applications that use the target system of the original adapters.

  To copy adapters:

  1. From Workbench, select the Adapters tab.

  2. Right-click an adapter, and select Copy.

  3. Enter a new name for the adapter.

    Note:

    The name of a copied source adapter must include the source name. For example, “ERPI_2,” “EBS_Copy,” and so on. Otherwise, drilling through to the source will not work.

  4. Click OK.

The new adapter retains the attributes of the original adapter. You need not add a machine profile or register the adapter.
