Bookshelf v7.5: Common EAI Transport Parameters

To configure the EAI Transports, you need to create named subsystems for data handling and connection parameters, as presented in Table 3. The data handling parameters are presented in Table 4. These parameters are common to every Transport method. After you create the named subsystems, you then need to specify these named subsystems as parameters in the service method argument or the business service user property.

Table 3. Dispatch Parameter Usage
When You Need to...	Use This Parameter...
...call any Business Service	DispatchService. This parameter must be used in conjunction with DispatchMethod.
...call any Business Service	DispatchMethod. This parameter must be used in conjunction with DispatchService.
...call the Dispatch Rule Set Business Service	DispatchRuleSet.
...call any Workflow	DispatchWorkflowProcess

Table 4. Common Data Handling Parameters for Transport Methods
Parameter Name	Description
CharSetConversion	Default is None. The default value for this parameter should be used for self-describing content such as XML and MIME. Legal values are None, UTF-8, and UTF-16. CharSetConversion specifies if and how character set conversion needs to occur before or after sending or receiving data from the external system. Depending on the value of this parameter, transport business services do implicit character set conversions if necessary. Note that same CharSetConversion is assumed for requests and responses.
ConverterService	Default is EAI XML Converter. This is the name of the business service to use for serializing property sets to a buffer and unserializing buffers to property sets. This parameter receives arguments through business service user properties if the converter service can accept them. Note that not any arbitrary service may be designated to be a converter service.
DispatchMethod	DispatchMethod parameter specifies the dispatch method. Specification of DispatchService is mutually exclusive with specification of a DispatchRuleSet or a DispatchWorkflowProcess. This parameter is only applicable for the ReceiveDispatch and ReceiveDispatchSend methods.
DispatchRuleSet	DispatchRuleSet specifies the name of the dispatch rule set for the Dispatcher Service. Specification of DispatchRuleSet is mutually exclusive with specification of DispatchWorkflowProcess or Dispatch Service. This parameter is only applicable for the ReceiveDispatch and ReceiveDispatchSend methods.
DispatchService	DispatchService specifies the dispatch service. Specification of DispatchService is mutually exclusive with specification of a DispatchRuleSet or DispatchWorkflowProcess. This parameter is only applicable for the ReceiveDispatch and ReceiveDispatchSend methods.
DispatchWorkflowProcess	DispatchWorkflowProcess specifies the name of the workflow process to dispatch to. Specification of DispatchWorkflowProcess is mutually exclusive with specification of DispatchRuleSet or Dispatch Service. This parameter is only applicable for the ReceiveDispatch and ReceiveDispatch Send methods.
IgnoreCharSetConvErrors	Default is False. This parameter specifies whether character set conversion errors should be ignored. If False, with any such errors, the transport service propagates the error.
RollbackOnDispatchError	Default is True. This parameter indicates whether or not to roll back transport transaction if a Dispatch Method fails. This parameter is only available for the transactional transports MQSeries Server, MQSeries AMI, and MSMQ.
SiebelTransactions	Default is True. This parameter indicates whether or not to nest the Siebel transaction within the transport transaction. This parameter is only available for the transactional transports MQSeries Server, MQSeries AMI, and MSMQ. If this parameter is set to False, the transaction support is turned off at the transport level. This setting means that if the transaction fails, then there will not be a rollback at the Siebel transaction level.
