ConnectionSpec

This topic describes the ConnectionSpec and the connection instance properties that affect outbound processing.

When using the Common Client Interface (CCI) to interact with a Siebel application, the adapter must establish a connection to the Siebel application’s resource manager using the ConnectionFactory. The Connection object represents the actual connection to Siebel and is used for subsequent interactions with Siebel, such as creating, setting, and sending business objects.

The ConnectionSpec object serves the following purposes:
  • Used by an application component to pass connection request-specific properties to the getConnection method.
  • Defines the connection request information, that is, the user name, password, and language properties.

Note that the values of these properties are not configured by the user via the WebSphere Process Server administrative console, but rather are passed by the client connection via the adapter’s CCI record. This interface allows a J2EE-based application to connect to and access the Siebel software back-end system. The client interface manages the flow of data between the client application and the back-end system and does not have any visibility into what either the container or the application server are doing with the adapter.

Supported ConnectionSpec configuration properties:
Property Type Globalized Description
UserName String Yes The name of the resource adapter’s user account on the Siebel application.
UserName String Yes The password for the resource adapter’s user account on the Siebel application.
UserName String Yes The language in which the resource adapter logs in. The default for English is E.
