The Adaptor Service (Adaptor)
- Emma Paton (Unlicensed)
The adaptor service is responsible for extracting information from LIMS through direct SQL queries run against the LIMS database and for sending information from completed samples back to LIMS. There are several adaptor services running on the application server. Each service handles requests from users at a particular hub location.
Each adaptor service sits in its own numbered subdirectory in the main installation folder. Within the folder for each adaptor service there are three subfolders that contain different types of log information.
The ApplicationLogs folder contains text log files that are generated daily for the system. These log files contain application information such as any exception information that may be generated during operation. The CommsLog folder contains a set of XML log messages, each of which encapsulates information about a single message sent or received by the comms service as it communicates with the other services on the application server. The Logs folder contains an older form of text log that contains broadly the same information as the log files that are generated in the ApplicationLogs folder.
