Include only the newly appended content
This property specifies whether to process and deliver only the appended file contents at the end of the file when compared to the last polled file contents.
Notification for appended file contents Required No Default False Property type Boolean Usage When you select this property, the adapter processes and delivers only the appended business objects (data) at the end of the file when compared to previous poll contents. If the event file has same or less number of business objects than the last poll, then the file is not processed for delivery to the endpoint. When you enable this property, the adapter does not archive or delete any files.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Include business object delimiter in the file content
This property specifies whether the delimiter value specified in the SplitCriteria property is sent with the business object content for further processing.
Include business object delimiter in the file content details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault False Property type Boolean Usage When this property is set to true, the delimiter value specified in the SplitCriteria property is sent with the business object content for further processing. This property is valid only if event file splitting is based on a delimiter; that is, if the SplittingFunctionClassName property is set to com.ibm.j2ca.utils.filesplit.SplitByDelimiter.
- This property has no effect on the inbound processing of the event files.
- If the configured delimiter does not exist in the input file, the adapter processes the event file as a single business object.
- This property must be used with a custom data binding that can handle end business object delimiter in the contents. Using it with XMLDataHandler results in failure at the data binding level.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Include total business object count in the ChunkInfo (includeBOCountInChunkInfo)
This property, when set to true, specifies that the total business object count is included in the chunk information of the dataobject, which is sent to endpoint.

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 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
Poll event files for modified content
This property specifies whether the adapter polls files that changed since the last recorded time stamp.
Notification for file changes Required No Default False Property type Boolean Usage This property is used to retrieve files from the event directory, when a file is changed from the last recorded time stamp. When this property is selected, the adapter polls the new and changed files during each subsequent poll cycle after the previous event poll. Also, the adapter does not delete any event file from the event directory. The adapter does not archive any files in the specified archive directory. Also, this property is disabled if you select the FilePassByReference property.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
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 local file system 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 local file system when it is first started, use the RetryConnectionOnStartup property.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Pass only file name and directory, not the content
This property specifies whether to send the directory name and file name to the endpoint.
Pass only file name and directory, not the content details Required No Possible values True
FalseDefault False Property type Boolean Usage If this property is set to True, the adapter always archives the file and sends the directory name and file name to the endpoint. However, the adapter does not load the content of the file. The event file is appended with a time stamp and archived to the archive directory.
For example, if a.txt is the event file, it is archived as a.txt.yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss_SSS in the archive directory. Additionally, for COBOL or XMLDataHandler, the event file is archived to a.txt.yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss_SSS.original file.
- If this property is set to True and archive directory is not specified, the adapter throws an exception. This property can be used with a custom data binding that does not fail at run time if no content is set; or it can be used in a pass-through scenario. Using this property with XMLDataHandler results in failure at the data binding level, because XMLDataHandler expects content in addition to the file name and directory path.
- In the external service wizard, you can use this property if both the SplitCriteria property and FileChangeNotification properties are not selected.
- The Process Administrative Console allows you to use this property along with the FileChangeNotification, SplittingFunctionClassName, and SplitCriteria properties, but the event files are not split into chunks. The settings specified in the FileChangeNotification property take precedence, when used with this property.
Globalized No
Password used to connect to event data source
This property specifies the password used by event persistence processing to obtain the JDBC database connection from the data source.
Password used to connect to event data source details Required No Default None Property type String Globalized Yes Bidi supported Yes
Poll subdirectories in event directory
This property specifies whether the adapter polls the subdirectories within the event directory.
Poll subdirectories in event directory details Required No Default False Property type Boolean Usage When this property is set to True, the adapter polls the files in the event directory and also the files in its subdirectories. When this property is set to False, the adapter polls only the files in the root directory and ignores any subdirectories. During a poll cycle, the adapter first polls the files in the root directory and then polls the files in the subdirectories. It sorts them according to the value set for the SortEventFiles property and processes them according to the value set for the PollQuantity property. It then sends the business objects to the downstream components.
When the PollSubDirectories property is set to True and archiving is enabled, all the polled files, including the files that are polled from the subdirectories, are archived to the archive directory.
Globalized No Bidi supported No
Retrieve files in sorted order
This property specifies the sorting order of polled event files.
Retrieve files in sorted order details Required No Possible values File name - sort in ascending order on file name
Time stamp- sort in ascending order on last modified time stamp
No sort- not sortedDefault No sort Property type String Usage To support globalization, the sorting of file names is provided according to the system locale.

Retrieve files with pattern
This property specifies the file filter for the event files.
Retrieve files with pattern details Required Yes Default *.* Property type String Usage The file filter is a well-qualified valid regular expression that can consist of alphanumeric characters and the wildcard character "*". *. For example, if you specify event*, only file names beginning with event are processed.
Globalized Yes Bidi supported Yes
Retry EIS connection on startup (RetryConnectionOnStartup)
This property controls whether the adapter attempts to connect again to the local file system 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 local file system 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 local file system, 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
Specify criteria to split file content
This property specifies either the delimiter that separates the business objects in the event file or the maximum size of the event file.
Specify criteria to split file content details Required No Default 0 Property type String Usage This property specifies the delimiter that separates the business objects in the event file or the maximum size of the event file. The value of this property is determined by the value that is set in the SplittingFunctionClassName property:
- If the SplittingFunctionClassName property is set to com.ibm.j2ca.utils.filesplit.SplitByDelimiter, the SplitCriteria property must contain the delimiter that separates the business objects in the event file.
- If the SplittingFunctionClassName property is set to com.ibm.j2ca.utils.filesplit.SplitBySize, the SplitCriteria property must contain a valid number that represents the maximum file size in bytes. If the event file size is greater than this value, it is split into chunks of this value and that number of chunks are posted. If the event file size is less than this value, the entire event file is posted.
If the SplitCriteria property value is set to 0, file splitting is disabled.
During inbound processing, if file splitting is based on size or delimiter and the FilePassByReference property is enabled, the event files are not split into chunks.
For input files that contain multiple COBOL copybook records, in order to enable file splitting by size you must provide the correct length of each record. To determine the size of each record, use the following method:
- Open the Business Object in a text editor.
- Look for the complex type tag with the business object name value in the name attribute. In the example that follows, the business object name is DFHCOMMAREA.
- Locate a namespace-appended tag called aggregateInstanceTD and use the value for the attribute contentSize. In this example, the value is 117. This value is the size of each record of type DFHCOMMAREA.
<complexType name="DFHCOMMAREA"> <annotation> <appinfo source="http://www.ibm.com/cam/2005/typedescriptor"> <td:typeDescriptorCT> <td:aggregateInstanceTD accessor="readWrite" attributeInBit="false"
contentSize="117" offset="0" size="117">Globalized Yes Bidi supported Yes
