Connection Type for Adapter Configuration

When a new adapter configuration is created in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project a client connection reference and server connection reference is created under R3Connections folder in the adapter. This reference, points to the actual client or server connection in the adapter. If there are multiple client or server connection references in R3Connections folder, the first reference is always selected.

Depending on the Connection Type selected in the adapter configuration, the connection reference is created.
  • Connection Type > Inbound

    The inbound connection type uses the client connection reference. For each adapter configuration, an equivalent shared resource is created in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project. If the preference file is present in projects root folder, values from the preference file will override values from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project. If there are multiple client connection references, the first reference is used for migration. The server connection details are not migrated unless specified in preference file.

  • Connection Type > Outbound

    The outbound connection type uses the server connection reference. For each adapter configuration, an equivalent shared resource is created in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project. In outbound connection type the details for client connection will be fetched from design time connection in adapter. If the preference file is present in projects root folder, values from the preference file will override values from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project. If there are multiple server connection references, the first reference is used for migration.

  • Connection Type > Both

    In the Connection Type > Both, both the client and server connection reference is used. For each adapter configuration, an equivalent shared resource is created in TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 6.x project. If the preference file is present in projects root folder, values from the preference file will override values from TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks 5.x project. If there are multiple client and server connection references, the first reference is used for migration.
