Registration of a custom datawarehouse adapter?

Hi,
I used the extensibillity kit and found documentation on how to build your custom Datawarehouse extensions. So I decided to build My own Custom Datawarehouse adapter and a schema, but I can't find any documentation on how to register my adapter with the datawarehouse. Does any body know how to register the adapter and the schema so It will get picked up by the next run of the DataWarehouse

Thanks,
Marcel

Registration of a custom datawarehouse adapter?

    I found the solution myself, but thought to post it here as well.

    You can find a tool called SetupWarehouse.exe in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Enterprise Server\BISIISDIR\bisdwserver\bin

    This Exe accepts a schema as defined for the datawarehouse in the extensibility kit. Once you run the commandline and provide the schema for your custom dimensions and fact it will be picked up by the datawarehouse.

    I just dropped the adapter assembly in the adapter folder in the datawarehouse server folder called adapters (right under the website vdir)
    Don't know yet if it will process my adapter, but when I find out I will let you know.

    Must say that this is realy a cool way of working with the DW. I realy like this approach.
    Thumbs up for the Team System Datawarehouse team Big Smile

    b.t.w. I found this solution by just browsing the directories, this is no where in the documentation of the DW extensibility. So that might be something the team might add to the docs. ....
