Adaptor
Chris Troupe
Both are commonly used and listed in dictionaries, but adapter (with an e) is usually listed as the more common - see, for example, Merriam Webster or the Cambridge dictionary. It's not a strong basis for choosing one over the other, but it might be enough to settle the matter in your case :).
I would tend to suggest in a situation like this where both spellings are considered acceptable to use the spelling that is most broadly accepted in the particular field you are working in. In this case, the leading example of usage of the word "adapter" is the description of the kind of system you are writing in Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software by Gamma, Helms, Johnson and Vlissides, commonly referred to as "Gang of Four" or "GoF". This book (which is among the most widely-read books on software design there are) uses the -er spelling, so I would suggest that anybody else working on software adapters should also use that spelling.
The British newspaper The Guardian, for instance, makes a distinction between adaptor vs. adapter in its internal style guide, namely, use adaptor when referring to devices and adapter when referring to people.
Incidentally, some would argue quite the opposite in regards to either form referring to people or objects. There are (not literally of course) endless examples of people roles ending in -er. Caterer, lecturer, carpenter etc.
The "or" suffix tends to be more common in American English. In English English, the "er" prefix is usually preferred when not referring to a person. In this instance I would certainly use Adapter.
One thing I did not see was accessing Monitor through alternate URL/site. Is there documentation on how to apply a web adaptor or configure Windows IIS to access Monitor through a site and not the machine name and port itself?
Currently you connecting to ArcGIS Monitor through the ArcGIS Web Adaptor is not possible - but this is on our dev roadmap.
Please see this blog: Connecting to ArcGIS Monitor 2023 through IIS
Hope this helps,
I have upgraded my arcgis server and portal from 10.3 to 10.4.1, when installing the web adaptor, my arcgis server configures with no problem, but when i go to configure my portal i get the following error "Unable to configure Portal with the Web Adaptor. Please make sure that the Portal machine is running and that the account specified has administrative privileges to the Portal." am i doing something wrong? its been so long since i have done the initial install i can't quite remember if there is something i did differently
We are getting an error trying to register Portal web adaptor in RHEL 7 - with apache and tomcat. SSL certs are installed and configured with both. We have a web adaptor for arcgis that went through just fine to its remote AGS server. Then we installed another web adaptor called portal and we get the follow error when we try to configure the portal on a remote server.
Randy, not sure if you resolved this already or not, but in my testing of 10.5 pre-release last week I was running into a problem with creating my Portal web addaptor. It ended up that Portal was seeing a web adaptor from a previous attempt or was somehow "corrupt". The folder wasn't in my IIS and the errors I was getting didn't make a lot of sense.
What tech support walked me thru is going into the administration page of Portal so I could delete this phantom install. Once I did that it worked. I'm in the process of uninstalling the pre-release so I can install the final, so I can't look at the exact place, but I had to log in to https://:7443/arcgis/portaladmin/
Just like ArcGIS Server's admin, caution should be used when using this direct admin site (vs the Manager GUI) since it can also break your install . If you think this might help and don't feel comfortable, you may want to contact tech support to walk you thru it.
We are experiencing a weird issue with the installation of our Portal Web Adaptor. Our current configuration is a three tiered system with Portal, Sever, and Web Adaptor on their own virtual VM. We started experiencing issue with our Portal Web Adaptor configuration so we decided to remove and re-install (as suggested by Esri). During our installation/configuration of the new Portal (with the same name), we are prompted for user credentials. We have never experienced this before and it appears to be causing an issue.
This is not our first configuration of such a system. Actually, its our third. We have never experienced an issue like this before. Is there a reason why the server is requiring credentials for a new Portal Web Adaptor with the same name?
Finally figured it out. Under the Authentication for IIS on our Web Adaptor, we had to disable Windows Authentication and enable Anonymous access. This allowed us to create Admin accounts prior to updating the IWA (Integrated Windows Authentication)
In order to link a web adaptor to ArcGIS Server or Portal, an admin username / password must be provided, regardless of the name of the web adaptor. If you enter a Portal admin username and password, does the config work or are you seeing errors on the browser page?
Thanks for your response. Like I've mentioned, we have done this several times before. This is an exact replica of an existing configuration. I have Admin privileges on all machines. The credentials verification screen is a Windows Security iexplore screen. Nothing to do with PortalAdmin.
The Nanodropper adaptor is a sterile medical device and is not intended to be taken off the bottle once installed. We recommend using one adaptor per medication bottle and discard at the end of the bottle-life. For more information on how many to order, click the button above.
When you install the Nanodropper, you will remove the original cap. Our colored labels and icons will help you tell your medications apart and remember when to take your drops. Click the button above to add labels to your order.
The Nanodropper is the first and only adaptor for eyedrop bottles that reduces the drop volume by over 60%. Smaller drops have been shown to reduce waste, cost, and side effects of eyedrops.
We are currently only able to fulfill orders to addresses within the US or US territories. We are working hard to be available internationally. If you are located outside of the US, please fill out the subscription form at the bottom of the website to be alerted when we are available where you live.
Multiple studies support that 7-10 microliters is the ideal-sized drop size for the average human eye. Typical eyedrop bottles administer upwards of 50 microliters. The Nanodropper adaptor reduces the size of each drop the ideal 10 microliter range.
There's a limited space on your eye that can hold extra liquid. After that limit is met, the excess will be drained by your tear ducts or blinked out of your eye. The bigger the initial drop, the bigger your eye's response to the foreign sensation. This means more medication is absorbed into your body, instead of just in your eye as intended by your doctor. This can have what is called "systemic side effects," where the medication acts as if it was administered through an IV. Because the severity is volume-dependent, the smaller drops have been shown in some clinical studies to be safer.
The Nanodropper adaptor is a sterile medical device and is not intended to be taken off the bottle once installed. We recommend using one adaptor per medication to prevent risk of contamination, infection, and injury.
The Nanodropper adaptor is a sterile medical device and is not intended to be taken off the bottle once installed. Please use one adaptor per medication bottle and discard at the end of the bottle-life. Home sterilization has not been studied with the adaptor, and can lead to contamination, infection, and injury. Do not attempt to clean or reuse any parts of the Nanodropper adaptor.
Our recommendation is always to follow the instructions included with your medication and to have a conversation with your eye doctor and follow their instructions. For general guidance, most preservative-containing eyedrop bottles are safe to use up to the printed expiration date on the bottle, as long as you follow the manufacturer's storage guidelines.
Use one Nanodropper per bottle. Do not transfer or reuse on subsequent bottles. Misuse, reuse, or attempts to re-sterilize Nanodropper may result in reduced treatment efficacy, serious infection, injury, or death. Dispose of your bottle when recommended by your eyecare professional. Nanodropper may not be used with some treatment plans, always consult your eyecare professional before using the Nanodropper.
