Changing Adapter Properties

You can change adapter properties in TIBCO Administrator at the service level, in the adapter template TRA file, or in the TRA file of the deployed service instances.

To Change Adapter Properties in TIBCO Administrator (Recommended)

For better results maintain adapter properties by using TIBCO Administrator.

To change a property value in TIBCO Administrator:

Procedure 

1. Select the service in the Configuration and Builder pane for the application.
2. In the displayed Edit Service Configuration dialog, click the Advanced tab and change the variable value in the Adapter SDK Properties pane.
3. Click Save.

Note 

Click Reset To Defaults to reset all the adapter properties to the default values defined in the EAR file.

After making the changes, you have to redeploy the application to use the new value. When you deploy the application and run the configured components, the changed values will be used, unless they were overridden in a way that had higher precedence.

To Change Adapter Properties in the Adapter TRA File

To change a property value in the Adapter TRA file:

Procedure 

1. Open the TRA file under the TIB_ADADB_HOME/bin directory.
2. Add or edit the properties, and save the file.

After making the changes, you have to redeploy the application to use the new values. When you deploy the application and run the configured components, all occurrences of an adapter properties are replaced with the value of that variable, unless it was overridden in a way that had higher precedence.

To Change Adapter Properties in the TRA File of a Deployed Service

To change a property value in the TRA file of a deployed service:

Procedure 

1. Open the TRA file for the deployed service under the TIBCO_TRA_DOMAIN_HOME/domainName/application/applicationDeploymentName directory.
2. Add or edit the properties, and save the file.

After making the changes, you have to redeploy the application to use the new values. When you deploy the application and run the configured components, all the changed property values will be used.

For better results maintain property values by using TIBCO Administrator, not the TRA file of a deployed service, because the changes in the TRA file will lose if you redeploy the application.
