Outbound configuration properties
IBM WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files has several categories of outbound connection configuration properties, which you set with the external service wizard while generating or creating objects and services. You can change the resource adapter and managed connection factory properties after you deploy the module to IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus using IBM Integration Designer or the Process Administrative Console, but connection properties for the external service wizard cannot be changed after deployment.
- Guide to information about properties
The properties used to configure WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files are described in detail in tables included in each of the configuration properties topics, such as Resource adapter properties, Managed connection factory properties, and so on. To help you use these tables, information about each row you might see is explained here.- Connection properties for the wizard
Connection properties are used to build a service description and save the built-in artifacts. These properties are configured in the external service wizard.- Managed connection factory properties
Managed connection factory properties specify information the adapter needs at run time for outbound communication with the local file system.- Resource adapter properties
The resource adapter properties control the general operation of the adapter, such as specifying the namespace for business objects.You set the resource adapter properties using the external service wizard when you configure the adapter. After deploying the adapter, use the Process Administrative Console to change these properties.
- Interaction specification properties
Interaction specification properties contain the outbound connection properties the adapter uses to interface with the file system. You configure these properties using the external service wizard. To change the interaction specification properties after the application is deployed, use the assembly editor in IBM Integration Designer.
