Operations Center is preconfigured with an adapter type built directly from the Northwind definition demo.
To view how the demo definition builds a deployed adapter, do one of the following:
In the Operations Center console, under > , create an adapter, then select .
Be sure to specify correct values for the Northwind DB found in the running version of SQL Server.
Deploy the imported adapter definition and create a new adapter from it.
This might be the best way to practice building element and alarm definitions, then deploy them.
