Activation specification properties
Activation specification properties hold the inbound event processing configuration information for a message endpoint. You can set activation specification properties using either the external service wizard or the Process Administrative Console.
Activation specification properties are used during endpoint activation to notify the adapter of eligible event listeners. During inbound processing, the adapter uses these event listeners to receive events before forwarding them to the endpoint.
The following table lists the activation specification properties for inbound communication. You set the activation specification properties using the external service wizard and can change them using the IBM Integration Designer Assembly Editor, or after deployment through the Process Administrative Console. A more detailed description of each property is provided in the sections that follow the table. For information about how to read the property detail tables in the sections that follow, see Guide to information about properties
Auto acknowledge (AutoAcknowledge)
This property specifies the event acknowledge mode that is used. You can specify either the auto acknowledge mode or the client acknowledge mode.
Auto acknowledge details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault False Property type Boolean Usage Specifies the event acknowledge mode, which is either the auto acknowledge mode or the client acknowledge mode. Example False Globalized No Bidi supported Yes
Delivery type (DeliveryType)
This property specifies the order in which events are delivered by the adapter to the export.
Delivery type details Required No Possible values ORDERED
UNORDERED
Default ORDERED Property type String Usage The following values are supported:
- ORDERED: The adapter delivers events to the export one at a time.
- UNORDERED: The adapter delivers all events to the export at once.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Ensure once-only event delivery (AssuredOnceDelivery)
This property specifies whether to provide ensure once-only event delivery for inbound events.
Ensure once-only event delivery details Required Yes Possible values True
FalseDefault True Property type Boolean Usage When this property is set to True, the adapter provides assured once event delivery. This means that each event is delivered once and only once. A value of False does not provide assured once event delivery, but provides better performance. When this property is set to True, the adapter attempts to store transaction (XID) information in the event store. If it is set to False, the adapter does not attempt to store the information.
This property is used only if the export component is transactional. If it is not, no transaction can be used, regardless of the value of this property.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Retry limit for failed events (FailedEventRetryLimit)
This property specifies the number of times that the adapter attempts to redeliver an event before marking the event as failed.
Retry limit for failed events details Required No Possible values Integers Default 5 Property type Integer Usage Use this property to control how many times the adapter tries to send an event before marking it as failed. It accepts the following values:
- Default
- If this property is not set, the adapter tries five additional times before marking the event as failed.
- 0
- The adapter tries to deliver the event an infinite number of times. When the property is set to 0, the event remains in the event store and the event is never marked as failed.
- > 0
- For integers greater than zero, the adapter retries the specified number of times before marking the event as failed.
- < 0
- For negative integers, the adapter does not retry failed events.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Interval between polling periods (PollPeriod)
This property specifies the length of time that the adapter waits between polling periods.
Interval between polling periods details Required Yes Possible values Integers greater than or equal to 0. Default 2000 Unit of measure Milliseconds Property type Integer Usage The poll period is established at a fixed rate, which means that if running the poll cycle is delayed for any reason (for example, if a prior poll cycle takes longer than expected to complete) the next poll cycle occurs immediately to make up for the lost time caused by the delay. Globalized No Bidi supported No
Maximum connections (MaximumConnections)
This property specifies the maximum number of connections that the adapter can use for inbound event delivery.
Maximum connections details Required No Default 1 Property type Integer Usage Only positive values are valid. Any value less than 1 is treated as 1 by the adapter. Globalized No Bidi supported No
Maximum events in polling period (PollQuantity)
This property specifies the number of events that the adapter delivers to the export during each poll period.
Maximum events in polling period details Required Yes Default 10 Property type Integer Usage The value must be greater than 0. If this value is increased, more events are processed per polling period and the adapter may perform less efficiently. If this value is decreased, fewer events are processed per polling period and the adapter's performance might improve slightly. Globalized No Bidi supported No
Minimum connections (MinimumConnections)
This property specifies the minimum number of connections that the adapter can use for inbound event delivery.
Minimum connections details Required No Default 1 Property type Integer Usage Only positive values are valid. Any value less than 1 is treated as 1 by the adapter. Globalized No Bidi supported No
No wait (NoWait)
This property specifies whether the adapter waits for a time interval to get an event from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne transaction server by invoking the Dynamic Java™ Connector API.
No wait details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault True Property type Boolean Usage Specifies whether the adapter waits for a time interval to get an event from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne transaction server by invoking the Dynamic Java Connector API. Example True Globalized No Bidi supported Yes
Maximum number of retries in case of system connection failure (RetryLimit)
This property specifies the number of times the adapter tries to reestablish an inbound connection.
Maximum number of retries in case of system connection failure Required No Possible values 0 and positive integers Default 0 Property type Integer Usage This property controls how many times the adapter retries the connection if the adapter cannot connect to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server to perform inbound processing. A value of 0 indicates an infinite number of retries.
To control whether the adapter retries if it cannot connect to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server when it is first started, use the RetryConnectionOnStartup property.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Retry EIS connection on startup (RetryConnectionOnStartup)
This property controls whether the adapter attempts to connect again to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server if it cannot connect at startup.
Retry EIS connection on startup details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault False Property type Boolean Usage This property indicates whether the adapter should retry the connection to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server if the connection cannot be made when the adapter is started:
- Set the property to False when you want immediate feedback about whether the adapter can establish a connection to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server, for example, when you are building and testing the application that receives events from the adapter. If the adapter cannot connect, the adapter writes log and trace information and stops. The administrative console.shows the application status as Stopped. After you resolve the connection problem, start the adapter manually.
- Set the property to True if you do not need immediate feedback about the connection. If the adapter cannot connect during startup, it writes log and trace information, and then attempts to reconnect, using the RetryInterval property to determine how frequently to retry and the value of the RetryLimit property to retry multiple times until that value is reached. The administrative console.shows the application status as Started.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Time between retries in case of system connection failure (RetryInterval)
When the adapter encounters an error related to the inbound connection, this property specifies the length of time the adapter waits before trying to reestablish a connection.
Retry interval details Required Yes Default 2000 Unit of measure Milliseconds Property type Integer Usage Only positive values are valid. When the adapter encounters an error related to the inbound connection, this property specifies the length of time the adapter waits before trying to establish a new connection. Globalized No Bidi supported No
Stop the adapter when an error is encountered while polling (StopPollingOnError)
This property specifies whether the adapter will stop polling for events when it encounters an error during polling.
Stop the adapter when an error is encountered while polling details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault False Property type Boolean Usage If this property is set to True, the adapter stops polling when it encounters an error.
If this property is set to False, the adapter logs an exception when it encounters an error during polling and continues polling.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Wait time (WaitTime)
This property specifies the waiting time if the No Wait property is false.
Wait time details Required No Possible values Any positive integer. Any negative integer will be treated as the default value ( 3000 milliseconds) Default 3000 Unit of measure Millisecond Property type Integer Usage This property specifies the waiting time if the No Wait property is false. Example 5000 Globalized No Bidi supported Yes
Stop the adapter when an error is encountered while polling (StopPollingOnError)
This property specifies whether the adapter will stop polling for events when it encounters an error during polling.
Stop the adapter when an error is encountered while polling details Required No Possible values True Default False Property type Boolean Usage If this property is set to True, the adapter stops polling when it encounters an error.
If this property is set to False, the adapter logs an exception when it encounters an error during polling and continues polling.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
