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
You can determine the purpose of a business object by examining both the application-specific information within the business object definition file and the name of the business object. The application-specific information dictates what operations can be performed on the FTP server. The name typically reflects the operation to be performed and the structure of the business object.
- Custom file splitting
You can implement a custom class containing the splitting logic. The adapter provides a Java™ interface for the class. WebSphere Adapter for FTP, version 7.5 supports additional splitting methods for the inbound process. Hence, there are two different interfaces available for the inbound and outbound process.
- Fault business objects
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.- Configuration properties
IBM WebSphere Adapter for FTP 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 FTP 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
