Reference information
To support you in your tasks, reference information includes details about business objects that are generated by the external service wizard and information about adapter properties, including those that support bidirectional transformation. It also includes pointers to adapter messages and related product information.
- Business object information
A business object is a structure that contains specific information about an email being processed by an inbound or outbound module. Business objects contain information about how the adapter processes the email content and attachments, and also how the business objects are associated with an operation (such as Create). Business object names are generated by the external service wizard and are named according to their contents.- Business faults
The adapter supports business faults, which are exceptions that are anticipated and declared in the outbound service description, or import. Business faults occur at predictable points in a business process, and are caused by a business rule violation or a constraint violation.- Event store structure
Each time an email is read by the adapter during inbound communication, the adapter updates the status of the event in an event store. The status of each event is continually updated by the adapter for recovery purposes until the events are delivered to a configured export on the run time.- Configuration properties
IBM WebSphere Adapter for Email has several categories of configuration properties, which you set with the external service wizard while generating or creating objects and services. You can change the resource adapter, managed connection factory, and activation specification properties after you deploy the application to IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.- Globalization
WebSphere Adapter for Email is a globalized application that can be used in multiple linguistic and cultural environments. Based on character set support and the locale of the host server, the adapter delivers message text in the appropriate language. The adapter supports bidirectional script data transformation between integration components.- Adapter messages
