Considerations

If you decide to use this method for creating custom user defined heuristic configurations, take note of the following:

• The BatchFTP Connectivity Map property, User Defined Directory Listing Style, supersedes the Directory Listing Style property. When a User Defined Directory Listing Style is specified, it is used as the heuristic configuration for the corresponding BatchFTP Adapter (OTD). To use the Directory Listing Style property value as the applied heuristic style, the User Defined Listing Style property value must be left blank.

• Setting the User Defined Directory Listing Style property value to blank (no value) makes the selected Directory Listing Style property value (built-in heuristic configuration) the current enabled style.

• At runtime, the user defined heuristics configuration file must exist on the app server, and possess appropriate permission settings to allow the heuristic configuration parameters to be accessed by the deployed application.

• An error message is generated by the BatchFTP OTD when a User Defined Directory Listing Style is specified, but the User Defined Heuristics Configuration File property value is blank, or associated the user defined heuristics configuration file is not accessible or does not contain a corresponding style configuration.

• Setting the value of the User Defined Directory Listing Style triggers the loading of the corresponding heuristics configuration file specified by the User Defined Heuristics Configuration File property. If you make changes to the heuristics configuration file, set the User Defined Heuristics Configuration File property before setting the User Defined Directory Listing Style.
