Configuration overview
Configure adapters to connect to external systems using service instance properties, authentication, and endpoint configuration.
What is adapter configuration
Configuration defines how adapters connect to and communicate with external systems without modifying code.
- Service instance configuration: Connection settings, authentication, global behavior
- Endpoint configuration: API call definitions, schemas, request/response handling
Configuration changes properties only - No code changes required.
Configuration vs customization
Use configuration for
- Connection settings (host, port, protocol)
- Authentication methods and credentials
- SSL/TLS certificates
- Request timeouts and retries
- Health check behavior
- API endpoint definitions
- Request/response data translation
- HTTP headers and parameters
Use customization for
- Complex validation logic
- Business rules enforcement
- Data transformations beyond schema translation
- Multi-step workflows
- Dynamic behavior not supported by configuration
