Setting activation specification properties for stand-alone adapters

To set activation specification properties for your stand-alone adapter after it has been installed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, use the administrative console. You select the name of the message endpoint property you want to configure, and then change or set the value.

Your adapter must be installed on IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

You use activation specification properties to configure the endpoint for inbound processing.

To configure properties using the administrative console, use the following procedure.

Procedure

1. If the server is not running, right-click your server in the Servers view and select Start.

2. When the server status changes to Started, right-click the server and select Administration > Run administrative console.

3. Log on to the administrative console.

4. Click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters.

5. In the Resource adapters page, click IBM WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software.

6. In the Additional Properties list, click J2C activation specifications.

7. If you are going to use an existing activation specification, skip ahead to select from an existing list of activation specifications.

   If you have selected Use predefined connection properties when you use the external service wizard to configure the adapter module, create an activation specification.

   If you are creating an activation specification...

   1. Click New.

   2. In the General Properties section of the Configuration tab, type a name for the activation specification.

      For example, you can type AdapterAS.

   3. Type a value for JNDI name.

      For example, you can type com/eis/AdapterAS.

   4. Select the authentication alias from the Authentication alias list if you have configured the adapter interface for an authentication alias. If the authentication alias is not present in the list, create one. Refer to the related links section for more information about creating an authentication alias.

   5. Select a message listener type. The available listener types correspond to:

      • The ALE inbound processing interface

      • The ALE inbound processing interface with local transaction support

      • The BAPI inbound processing interface

      • The Advanced event processing inbound interface

   6. Click OK.

   7. Click Save in the Messages box at the top of the page.

      The newly created activation specification is displayed.

8. In the list of activation specifications, click the one you want to use.

9. In the Additional Properties list, click J2C activation specification custom properties.

10. For each property you want to set...

    See Activation specification properties for ALE inbound processing, Activation specification properties for BAPI inbound processing, or Activation specification properties for Advanced event processing for information about these properties.

    1. Click the name of the property.
    2. Change the contents of the Value field or type a value, if the field is empty.

    3. Click OK.

11. After you have finished setting properties, click Apply.

12. In the Messages area, click Save.
