Table 14 Inbound File Adapter Connectivity Map Properties - Parameter Settings

Name Description Required Value Input file name Specifies the file mask for input data files. A file mask. The default is input*.txt. You can provide only an extension with an asterisk (), for example, *.txt, to allow all files with that extension. An input file’s extension is renamed to .~in after it is picked up. Note - If a file with the same name as the rename name exists, for example, input1.txt.~in , picking up the input file fails. You must ensure no files with the rename names exist before the files are processed by the inbound file poller. Polling interval The number of milliseconds the adapter waits between poll attempts of the input directory. The polling interval and the MDB pool size can be “tuned” based on the expected volume and frequency of incoming messages. An integer; the acceptable range is an integer from 2 to 99999, inclusive, and the default is 5000 (5000 milliseconds or 5 seconds). It is not advised to enter a value less than 5 seconds. Caution - There is no error message if you enter an incorrect value. Input type Specifies the type of input file, for example, bytes. A file type. The default is Bytes, the only valid value. Remove EOL Specifies whether the adapter excludes the terminating End-Of-Line (EOL) characters from records (messages) sent to a subscriber. This property only applies if the Multiple records per file property is set to true. True: Enables the feature. False: Disables the feature. Select True or False. The default is False. Multiple records per file Specifies whether multiple records (messages) are obtained per file. If this property is set to True, multiple records (messages) are generated per line, up to the number specified in the Maximum bytes per record property. Any data exceeding the maximum bytes per record size is sent in subsequent messages. Select True or False. The default is False. Maximum bytes per record Specifies the maximum number of bytes per record (message) sent to a subscriber. This property only applies if the Multiple records per file property is set to True. An integer; the acceptable range is an integer from 2 to 99999, inclusive, and the default is 4096. Caution - There is no error message if you enter an incorrect value. Encoding Specifies the valid encoding names. For more information on Java encoding, refer to the following site: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html The encoding names. SerialMode Specifies whether messages will be handled in serial mode (one after the other) or concurrently. True: Indicates that messages are handled in serial mode. False: Indicates that messages handled concurrently. Select True or False. The configured default is True.
