The workflow required in getting a fully functioning adaptor are as follows

  1. Register Add an Adaptor using the YOUnite API, which will generate the necessary configuration details the Adaptor will need at startup time.
  2. Develop an adaptor in your development environment using a YOUnite Adaptor SDK (see YOUnite Adaptor Guide for Java Developers).
  3. Deploy the adaptor on a server (e.g. on a physical server, virtual server, instance, container, etc.) that has access to the YOUnite message bus.
  4. Connect the adaptor to the native data store or service that it is connect to YOUnite (e.g. CRM, MIS, SIS, DB, etc.).
  5. Configure the adaptor with the details from step 1 "Register an Adaptor" above.
  6. Start the adaptor so it can connect to the YOUnite DataHub over the YOUnite Message Bus.
  7. Change an adaptor's state.
    1. Pause
    2. Play
    3. Play Read Only
  8. Manage the adaptor.
    1. Delete an Adaptor
    2. Get new Credentials for an adaptor

StateDescription
PostedAdaptor is successfully POSTed. An API consumer can make this request or it can be done through the YOUnite UI.
Configured

The adaptor has:

  • Connected successfully to the YOUnite Datahub via the message bus/broker
  • Subscribed to the appropriate message broker topics
  • Created its message broker queue
PauseThe adaptor is running but not accepting adaptor (read/write) requests.

Play Read-Only

The adaptor is accepting read requests only.
PlayThe adaptor is accepting read and write requests.


An adaptor state can be changed using the request:

Note: When you delete an adaptor it is a soft delete (meaning the adaptor's "active" setting will be set to false). A soft-delete for entities avoids purging important information, including that which can be used to associate past activity in the system, such as logged events, zone, and adaptor type.

However, the linking (mapping) between the (YOUnite) Data Record and the source entities in the source system attached to the deleted adaptor will be hard deletes. Linking for deleted adaptors is hard-deleted as this particular data carries no useful additional data or metadata (the link entities are just an adaptorUuid and a drUuid).  Post-delete, an adaptor's linking history can still be viewed in system logs that should include all the relevant details about that link, as well as a log timestamp.
