Chapter 4 Configuring an Adapter Instance : Configuring an Adapter Instance

Configuring an Adapter Instance
Configure an adapter instance in the following tabs in the Configuration Panel:
Configuration Tab
The Configuration tab contains the following fields, as shown in Table 12.
To change versions, click the Change Version... button. An adapter instance can be saved in AE 4.0 or AE 5.0 format.
Guidelines for Choosing an Instance Name
When you create an adapter instance, the palette automatically creates several resources for it. The names of these resources derive from the name of the instance they belong to. Changing the adapter instance name results in an automatic regeneration of the resources names. If you manually modify any resource name, that particular name will not be automatically regenerated next time your rename the adapter instance.
Design-time Connection Tab
Many of the fields listed in Table 13 make use of global variables. Click the Global Variables tab in the project panel to enter a value for a global variable.
Note: this is the JOLT Listener port (the default is 9000) not the Workstation Listener port (default is 7000).
Connect... Button
The Connect... button allows you to test whether the specified configuration fields result in a valid connection to the PeopleSoft Application Server.
Runtime Connection Tab
If you have checked the Use Design-Time Connection For Runtime checkbox in the Design-time Connection tab, most options in the Runtime Connection tab will inherit the design-time configuration and cannot be changed.
Note: this is the JOLT Listener port (the default is 9000) not the Workstation Listener port (default is 7000).
Specify the number of reconnection attempts to make before suspending a runtime adapter or adapter service. The value of the Adapter Termination Criteria field determines whether the adapter or an adapter service is stopped.
Adapter Services Tab
This tab is visible only when you check the Show All Tabs checkbox in the Configuration tab.
Specify common parameters to one or more types of services.
Note: This field is applicable only for the CI Publication Service.
For detailed information about creating and configuring adapter services, see Chapter 5, Configuring Adapter Services.
General Tab
This tab is visible only when you check the Show All Tabs checkbox in the Configuration tab.
Table 16 General Tab
A message sent on the termination subject (if Rendezvous is the transport) or topic (if JMS is the transport) stops the adapter. In most cases, you should use the default value.
See TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts for information about specifying subject names. See the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service User’s Guide for information about publishing on a topic.
Logging Tab
The Logging tab specify the output destination (sinks) for the trace messages and set the tracing level for the roles selected.
Table 17 Logging Tab 
If the checkbox is not checked (by default), you can set two standard output destinations (sinks) for trace messages and set the tracing level for the roles selected.
If the checkbox is checked, you have complete control on selecting the destinations and associating desired roles with each of the destinations.
Guildline for Creating and Configuring the Sinks
To create and configure the sinks, follow these steps:
1.
Check the Use Advanced Logging checkbox in the Logging Tab.
2.
Expand ProjectName > PeopleSoftAdapterConfiguration > Advanced > Log Sinks in the Project Panel.
3.
Drag the Generic Log Sink palette from the Palettes panel to the Design panel, and then select a Sink Type in the Configuration tab. Click the Apply button. For detailed information about Sink Types, see Sink Types.
4.
5.
Sink Types
There are four sink types available: File, Hawk, Network, and STDIO. Each of them has certain configuration options:
For the File sink, the file limit, file count, and the option to append or overwrite can be specified. When created by default, this is set to 30000 bytes, 3 and append mode respectively.
For the STDIO sink, the option to write to stdout or stderr can be selected. When created by default, stdout is selected.
For details on Hawk sessions, see Using Global Variables. The configuration for the Hawk sink involves specifying the MicroAgent Name that must be specified in the configuration panel.
Startup Tab
The Startup tab contains the following fields, as shown in Table 18.
Table 18 Startup Tab
Monitoring Tab
Many of the fields listed in the Monitoring tab make use of global variables. Click the Global Variables tab in the project panel to enter a value for a global variable.
Clicking the Globe icon, you can switch the way of configuration between a standard checkbox and text value (true or false).
In most cases the default value is used. The InstanceId variable need not be set because it is automatically set at runtime by the runtime adapter.
Clicking the Globe icon, you can switch the way of configuration between a standard checkbox and text value (true or false).
