Most required properties are predefined by TIBCO Adapter SDK. See "Properties Files" in TIBCO Adapter SDK Programmer’s Guide for more information.

Required Runtime Adapter Properties File Parameters
Property	Description
`tibco.repourl` `repourl`	The absolute pathname to the local repository where the adapter instance is defined. For example: `C:/TIBCO/LocalRepositories/repo.dat` For a remote project, the repourl value that uses the form `tibco.repourl tibcr@`name where name is the repository name. For example: `tibco.repourl tibcr@ADBRepoDefault` For Unix systems, the path separator includes a single slash, "/". For example: `/local/tibco/repo/repo.dat`
`tibco.configurl` `relative_path` or `tibco.configurl` `absolute_path`	The location of the adapter service inside the project file. If a relative path is specified, the adapter service is assumed to be under the default area in the project file (/`tibco/private/adapter/)`. For example, the following value connects to an adapter service named `adbpub` in the /`tibco/private/adapter/` directory: `tibco.configurl adbpub` If an absolute path is specified, the adapter instance is looked up in the repository as defined by the argument. For example: `tibco:configurl /tibco/private/adapter/adbpub`
`tibco.instanceid` `instance name`	The name of the adapter instance. The length of the name cannot be larger than 80 characters.
`tibco.clientVar.adb.password`	The password to connect to the targeted database. This can be obfuscated using the instructions in Password Handling.
