Register an Adapter for Testing

After you have validated the adapter definition document, you can make your adapter available for testing on a development instance of Oracle Integration.

Ensure that you've specified a development instance of Oracle Integration as active in the publisher profile. See Configure the VS Code Extension for Rapid Adapter Builder.

Note:

  • For the first time, you can register your adapter on Oracle Integration with the default version number in the adapter definition document (that is, 1.0.0). However, for subsequent pushes, you'll need to update the version number in the document's info section to make your adapter available on Oracle Integration. For testing purposes, you can use a versioning format of your choice. However, while deploying your adapter to production, use the semantic versioning rules. See Determine an Adapter's Version Number.
  • For each adapter bundle, an Oracle Integration instance can have exactly one live version of an adapter. If you update an adapter bundle and register the latest version, the latest version of the bundle always overwrites the previous version.
  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette. From the commands displayed, click the RAB: Register RAB Bundle command.

    Now, the VS Code extension registers the adapter on your Oracle Integration instance. The adapter is registered on the instance specified as active in the publisher profile.

    After the registration is complete, a success message is displayed in the VS Code editor's bottom panel, on the Output tab.

  2. Log in to your Oracle Integration instance and check for the registered adapter.
    1. On the Oracle Integration Home page, click Show/Hide navigation menu Show/Hide Navigation menu to view the navigation pane.
    2. In the navigation pane, click Design, and then click Adapters.
    3. On the Adapters page, click the Search icon, type the name of your adapter in the Search field, and hit Enter.
    You'll see the adapter you registered in the search results. Point to the adapter's row and click View View icon to view its details.
