This document uses the following typographic conventions:
Convention | Description |
Monospace font | Text in this font indicates text that you type, values for arguments or command options, examples and code examples, or information that the system prints on the screen (message text or prompts). |
bold | Boldface text indicates graphical user interface controls (for example, online button names, menu names, or menu options) and column headings in tables and text. |
Italics | Text in italics indicates emphasis, book titles, new terms and terms that are defined in the text, variable names, or letters of the alphabet used as letters. |
Italic monospace font | Text in italic monospace font indicates variable names within monospace-font text. |
ProductDir | ProductDir represents the directory where the product is installed. For the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server environment, the default product directory is IBM\WebSphereICS. For the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters environment, the default product directory is WebSphereAdapters. All WebSphere Business Integration Adapters product path names are relative to the directory where the product is installed on your system. |
%text% and $text | Text within percent (%) signs indicates the value of the WindowsR(R) text system variable or user variable. The equivalent notation in a UNIXR(R) environment is $text, indicating the value of the text UNIX environment variable. |
Underlined colored text | Underlined colored text indicates a cross-reference. Click the text to go to the object of the reference. |
Text in a blue outline | (In PDF files only) An outline around text indicates a cross-reference. Click the outlined text to go to the object of the reference. This convention is the equivalent for PDF files of the "Underlined colored text" convention included in this table. |
" "(quotation marks) | (In PDF files only) Quotation marks surround cross-references to other sections of the document. |
{ } | In a syntax line, curly braces surround a set of options from which you must choose one and only one. |
[ ] | In a syntax line, square brackets surround optional parameters. |
... | In a syntax line, ellipses indicate a repetition of the previous parameter. For example, option[,...] means that you can enter multiple, comma-separated options. |
< > | Angle brackets surround variable elements of a name to distinguish them from one another. For example, <server_name><connector_name>tmp.log. |
\, / | Backslashes (\) are used as separators in directory paths in Windows installations. For UNIX installations, substitute slashes (/) for backslashes. |
