    Adapter Development Kit (ADK) A development kit that provides some samples for adapter development, including sample connectors and Object Discovery Agents (ODAs). connector The component of an adapter that uses business objects to send information about an event to an integration broker (event notification) or receive information about a request from the integration broker (request processing).

  • Page 15: Connector Architecture

    Connector architecture The connector has been designed following the meta-data design principles as outlined in the Connector Development Guide for Java. This means that existing application-specific business objects can be extended and customized and new business objects can be defined without requiring additional coding or customization in the connector code.

Events business component structure (continued) Fields Event Ts Create notification: When the connector encounters a Create event, it creates a business object of the type specified by the event, sets the key values for the business object (using the object key specified in the Event business component), and retrieves the business object from the Siebel application.

If Common Event Infrastructure support is enabled, events produced by the adapter can be received (or used) by another Common Event Infrastructure-compatible application.

  • Page 58 IsKey = true IsFireignKey = false IsRequired - false AppspecificInfo = SF=QuoteId;DF=QuoteId Assigning the value of an attribute to another attribute Attribute application-specific information can be coded so that the connector obtains a value for an attribute and assigns it to another attribute before the second attribute is processed.

  • Page 106 them to multiple collaboration instances simultaneously. This speeds delivery of business objects to the integration broker, particularly if the business objects use complex maps. Increasing the arrival rate of business objects to collaborations can improve overall performance in the system. To implement concurrent processing for an entire flow (from a source application to a destination application), the following properties must configured: v The collaboration must be configured to use multiple threads by setting its...

ControllerStoreAndForwardMode The ControllerStoreAndForwardMode property sets the behavior of the connector controller after it detects that the destination application-specific component is...
  • Page 108 DeliveryTransport The DeliveryTransport property specifies the transport mechanism for the delivery of events. Possible values are MQ for WebSphere MQ, IDL for CORBA IIOP, or JMS for Java Messaging Service. v If the value of the RepositoryDirectory property is set to <REMOTE>, the value of the DeliveryTransport property can be MQ, IDL, or JMS, and the default is IDL.

Using a text editor, add the following line as the first line in the CWSharedEnv.sh script: export LDR_CNTRL=MAXDATA=0x30000000 This line restricts heap memory usage to a maximum of 768 MB (3 segments * 256 MB).
  • Page 110 jms.MessageBrokerName The jms.MessageBrokerName specifies the broker name to use for the JMS provider. You must set this connector property if you specify JMS as the delivery transport mechanism (in the DeliveryTransport property). When you connect to a remote message broker, this property requires the following values: QueueMgrName:Channel:HostName:PortNumber where:...
  • Page 111 jms.UserName the jms.UserName property specifies the user name for the JMS provider. A value for this property is optional. There is no default value. JvmMaxHeapSize The JvmMaxHeapSize property specifies the maximum heap size for the agent (in megabytes). This property is valid only if the value for the RepositoryDirectory property is set to <REMOTE>.
  • Page 112 where: ll is a two-character language code (in lowercase letters) TT is a two-letter country or territory code (in uppercase letters) codeset is the name of the associated character code set (may be optional). By default, only a subset of supported locales are listed. To add other supported values to the list, you modify the \Data\Std\stdConnProps.xml file in the <ProductDir>\bin directory.
  • Page 113 Note: To determine whether a connector has its own message file, see the individual adapter user guide. The default value is InterchangeSystem.txt. MonitorQueue The MonitorQueue property specifies the logical queue that the connector uses to monitor duplicate events. It is valid only if the value of the DeliveryTransport property is JMS and the value of the DuplicateEventElimination is true.
  • Page 114 PollEndTime The PollEndTime property specifies the time to stop polling the event queue. The format is HH:MM, where HH is 0 through 23 hours, and MM represents 0 through 59 minutes. You must provide a valid value for this property. The default value is HH:MM without a value, and it must be changed.
  • Page 115 v The connector processes the first BO attachment. The data handler is available for this MIME type, so it sends the business object to Visual Test Connector. v When it is polled for the second time, the connector processes the second BO attachment.
  • Page 116 RestartRetryCount The RestartRetryCount property specifies the number of times the connector attempts to restart itself. When this property is used for a connector that is connected in parallel, it specifies the number of times the master connector application-specific component attempts to restart the client connector application-specific component.
  • Page 117 This property is valid only if the value of DeliveryTransport is JMS. The default is <CONNECTORNAME>/SYNCHRONOUSRESPONSEQUEUE TivoliMonitorTransactionPerformance The TivoliMonitorTransactionPerformance property specifies whether IBM Tivoli Monitoring for Transaction Performance (ITMTP) is invoked at run time. The default value is false. WireFormat The WireFormat property specifies the message format on the transport: Appendix A.
  • Page 118 v If the value of the RepositoryDirectory property is a local directory, the value is CwXML. v If the value of the RepositoryDirectory property is a remote directory, the value is CwBO. WsifSynchronousRequestTimeout The WsifSynchronousRequestTimeout property specifies the time in milliseconds that the connector waits for a response to a synchronous request.
