Solution architecture

Figure 1 illustrates the data flow between the components that comprise the solution. The Adapter for DTS Protocol exchanges information with a message broker, and with the VJC Java API and the HostTalk VJC. These compoments then use the DTS protocol over TCP/IP to exchange data with applications that reside in the VME domain.

Installation, configuration, and design checklist

This section summarizes the tasks you must perform to install, configure, and design your DTS solution. Each section briefly describes the tasks and then provides links to sections in this document (and cross references to related documents) that describe how to perform the task or provide background information.

Installing the adapter

See Installation and startup for a description of what and where you must install.

Configuring connector properties

Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties and connector-specific configuration properties. Some of these properties have default values that you do not need to change. You may need to set the values of some of these properties before running the connector. For more information, see Adapter for DTS protocol processing.

Creating business objects

The Adapter for DTS Protocol supports only one business object type. The business object contains a DTS message as a data string within one of its parameters, but the composition and interpretation of the data is determined by endpoint applications. The business object definition, BO_DTS_Call, is delivered with the adapter product. Its structure is fixed and must not be changed, but you can create additional instances of it. See Business object requirements for more information.
