Create or Import Adapter Bundles

Using the VS Code extension for Rapid Adapter Builder, you can create a bundle file for an adapter project and import the same into a new workspace to begin another project.

  1. Create a bundle file for an adapter project.

    Note:

    Before you begin, make sure your workspace is valid, with the correct folder and file structure. In addition, save all the files in your workspace.
    1. In VS Code, click Explorer Explorer icon on the sidebar.
    2. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, and select the RAB: Create RAB Bundle command.
      An adapter bundle with the .rab extension is created under the root directory. The bundle contains all the adapter artifacts of your project, such as the adapter definition document, the logo, and so on.
  2. Import an adapter bundle into a new workspace.
    You can import the following bundles into a workspace:
    • The adapter bundles that you create.
    • The registered-adapter bundles that you download from an Oracle Integration instance. See Download or Delete Adapters.
    1. In VS Code, click Explorer Explorer icon on the sidebar.
    2. Click File in the top ribbon, select Open Folder..., and choose a folder on your system as the new workspace.

      Note:

      To import an adapter bundle, you must use an empty folder as your workspace.
    3. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, and select the RAB: Import RAB Bundle command.
    4. In the resulting window, select the .rab file to import, and click Select.
      The adapter bundle, containing unarchived files and folders, is imported into the workspace.
