Before you install WebSphere® Adapter for Flat Files,
there are a few additional installation requirements.
Inbound operations
Before you install WebSphere
Adapter for Flat Files, make sure the following is completed for inbound operations:
- The Event Directory specified must exist in the file system and match
the one specified in the ActivationSpecification configuration).
- If archiving is enabled, the ArchiveDirectory specified must exist in
the file system.
- The Event Data Table database parameters specified should be proper, and
corresponding database entities must exist.
- If the Event Data Table database is not the Cloudscape™ database included with
WebSphere Process Server, the database driver must be in the CLASSPATH of
the adapter.
- If the FFEventTable is created by the user (and not the adapter), the
FFEventTable should have the correct schema. Also the FFEventTable should
be used exclusively by the adapter and not any other application.
Note: The
Flat Files resource adapter-specific database is created by the adapter only
on Cloudscape.
Outbound operations
If the OutputDirectory is specified,
make sure it exists in the file system.
