ClientApplicationName	<Client application name>	The value for <Name> in <ClientApp>
ClientApplicationVersion	<Client application version>	The value for <Version> in <ClientApp>
IsClient	true, false	“True” if Siebel FINS is behaving as an ACORD client. “False” if Siebel FINS is behaving as an ACORD server.
IsSignoff	true, false	If “true,” the converter generates a SignoffRq aggregate for the current ACORD document. If “false,” the converter does not generate a SignoffRq aggregate.
ServiceProviderName	<ACORD service provider name>	The value will be used as the value of <SPName> in <SignonRq> aggregate.
XMLEnvIntObjectName	<Name of the envelope integration object>	Name of the integration object that defines ACORD envelope.
SignonRsEcho	Property Set storing echo values from <SignonRq>	Those echo values are used by SignonRs header.
initsignon	<Integration component user property of envelope integration object>	Determine which user property in envelope integration object will be used to construct initial SignonRq header.
sessionsignon	<Integration component user property of envelope integration object>	Determine which user property in envelope integration object will be used to construct subsequent SignonRq header.
signonRs	<Integration component user property of envelope integration object>	Determine which user property in envelope integration object will be used to construct SignonRs header.
signoffRq	<Integration component user property of envelope integration object>	Determine which user property in envelope integration object will be used to construct SignoffRq header.
signoffRs	<Integration component user property of envelope integration object>	Determine which user property in envelope integration object will be used to construct SignoffRs header.
ErrorCode	<Error code value>	The error code during operation to be set in the ACORD Status header.
ErrorMessageText	<Error message text>	The actual error message during operation to be set in the ACORD Status header.
GeneralErrorMessageText	<Error message text>	The generic error text to be pre-appended to the actual error text. For example, “The error happens before the transaction manager.”
