You can configure adapter properties using the using WebSphere® Process
Server administrative console.
Before you begin
The adapter has four categories of properties that are configured
using WebSphere Process Server administrative console:
- J2C connection factory properties (which correspond to the ManagedConnectionFactory
interface)
- J2C activation specification properties (which correspond to the ActivationSpecification
interface)
- Custom properties (also referred to as "default configuration properties")
- Resource adapter properties
Note: You can also configure properties for the Flat Files
adapter through the enterprise service discovery wizard during the generation
of service artifacts.
Why and when to perform this task
To configure properties using the WebSphere Process Server administrative
console, follow these steps.
Steps for this task
- Start the console.
- Under Resources, select Resource Adapters.
- Under Resource Adapters, select WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files. The General Properties page appears.
- Under Additional Properties, select one of the following categories
of properties that you would like to change:
- J2C connection factories, to configure the ManagedConnectionSpec properties,
which are used to configure a target enterprise information system instance.
- J2C Activation specifications, to configure message endpoint properties.
- Custom properties, to configure default configuration properties that
are shared by all WebSphere adapters.
- Do one of the following:
- If you selected J2C connection factories, select the name of the J2C
connection factory you want to configure and then select Connection pool properties,
Advanced connection factory properties, or Custom properties, depending on
which J2C connection factory properties you want to configure. Custom properties
are those J2C connection factory properties that are unique to the WebSphere
Adapter for Flat Files. Connection pool and Advanced connection factory properties
are properties you configure if you are developing your own adapter.
- If you selected J2C Activation specifications, select the name of
the J2C activation specification that you want to configure. Then select the
name of the message endpoint property you want to configure and set the value
as desired.
- If you selected Custom properties, the Custom properties page appears.
Select the name of the default configuration property you wish to configure
and set the value as desired.
