Resource adapter properties

Using the enterprise service discovery wizard when you first configure the adapter (and later, via the WebSphere® Process Server administrative console), you can configure Resource Adapter properties. This category of properties includes logging and tracing properties, bidirectional properties, and adapter-specific properties.

Logging and tracing properties

The following table describes the logging and tracing properties for the adapter.

Logging and tracing properties

Property Type Description
LogFileName String The full path of the log file. This property is required.
LogNumberOfFiles Integer The number of log files to use. When a log file reaches its maximum size the adapter will start using another log file. If no value is specified, it will be set to 1. This property is not required.
LogMaxFileSize Integer Size of the log files in kilobytes. If no value is specified, the file will have no maximum size. This property is not required.
TraceFileName String The full path to the trace file. This property is required.
TraceNumberOfFiles Integer The number of trace files to use. When a trace file reaches its maximum size the adapter will start using another trace file. If no values is specified, it will be set to 1. This property is not required.
TraceFileSizeMax Integer Size of the trace files in kilobytes. If no value is specified, the file will have no maximum size. This property is not required.

Bidirectional properties

The following table describes the bidirectional properties for the adapter. These properties display in the last window of the enterprise service discovery wizard and are used to define bi-di formats for the adapter at runtime. These properties differ from the bidirectional properties that appear in the first window of the enterprise service discovery wizard, which are used to define bi-di formats for the enterprise service discovery wizard.

Bidirectional properties

Property Type Description
EIS BiDi Format String The bi-di format used by SAP for its business data. The adapter normalizes the SAP bi-di data to the application server’s logical left-to-right bi-di format for inbound communication and from the application server’s format back to SAP bi-di format for outbound communication.
Skip BiDi Transformation String Controls invocation of bi-di transformation. Acceptable values: true or false. A blank value invokes the lookup mechanism.
EIS BiDi Special Format String Signifies a category of values that are subject to special treatment during invocation of bi-di transformation to ensure accurate transformation of the category. Categories are predefined. For example: FTP URLs and email addresses.
Turn BiDiOff Boolean A flag used to turn off (explicitly exclude) bi-di support. This property takes precedence over the BiDiSkip property, and it allows users who do not require bidirectional script data support to turn it off.

The following screen illustrates the portion of the enterprise service discovery wizard window in which these properties appear:

Adapter-specific property

The following table describes the adapter-specific configuration property that is unique to the WebSphere adapter for SAP Software.

Adapter-specific property

Property Type Globalized Description
PartnerCharset String No Specifies a PartnerCharset encoding. When populated with an encoding value, the value provided is used for the data conversion. If no value is provided, the value is obtained from the client connection to the SAP system
