Implement an Action Definition

The VS Code extension for Rapid Adapter Builder pulls action information from the Postman collection. Each API in the collection becomes an action in the adapter definition document. An action is an outbound call from Oracle Integration to the application that you're creating an adapter for.

The adapter developer can author the code for an action definition in the following ways:

  • Use the Rapid Adapter Builder extension in Visual Studio Code to convert a Postman collection to the adapter definition document, and subsequently modify the actions section as per requirements.

  • Manually author code from scratch for the action definition object in the adapter definition document based on the higher-order encapsulation of an adapter operation on the external application.

  1. In Visual Studio Code, in the Explorer pane, expand definitions, and select the adapter definition document.
    The adapter definition document has an extension of .add.json, such as adapter.add.json.
    The adapter definition document appears in the workspace.
  2. Expand the actions section.
  3. Review and update as needed.
