Web Adapters actions

Create New Adapter

This is carried out in the toolbar.  Invocation of this option displays a sub-menu that allows you to specify the type of adapter you wish to create.  Selecting an option adds a new adapter of the appropriate type to the grid.  Its Name is ‘New [adapter type] adapter’ (if an adapter with that name already exists, an integer is appended and can be incremented if required)).  Its State is Added.  The new adapter is selected automatically.

Configure Existing Web Adapter

This is carried out in the simple fields in the Selected Adapter Details section, by selecting an existing adapter.  If you configure an adapter that has been saved previously and its State is set to Edited.

Delete Selected Web Adapters

This is carried out in the toolbar.  If you delete an adapter that has been saved previously, its State is set to Deleted, and its row text color set to red.  You may no longer select a deleted row.  If you delete an adapter that is yet to be saved, it is removed from display.  You can delete multiple adapters concurrently.  Delete is not protected by an ‘Are You Sure’ dialog.  You cannot delete an adapter that is associated with one or more channels.

Save Changes to Web Adapters

Save is carried out using the Save changes to Adapters toolbar button.  Any changes you have made are validated, and any validation errors are advised in a dialog.  You may not proceed with the Save until you have resolved them.  Following a successful save, adapters are displayed in alphabetical order.  All adapters' states are updated to Unchanged.  Any deleted adapters are removed from display.  You cannot save a Deleted adapter when it is in use by one or more channels.

Refresh

This option reloads the contents of the interface from the operational database.  If changes have been made, a ‘Save Changes?’ dialog is shown.
