The default value is 20.
Select a JGoodies look and feel from the drop-down list. The new look and feel is reflected in the IDE after you restart Oracle Data Integrator. The default is Oracle.
Click to see all message types, including those that you have previously opted not to see.
3.8.2 Preferences Dialog - Environment - Log Page
Use to set default display options and other general aspects of Oracle Data Integrator's behavior.
Select to save the logs generated by Oracle Data Integrator to log files. For example, you could select Save Logs to File to save a large amount of log data for later searches or analysis.
When you select this option, all output to the Log window from running, debugging, and profiling operations is saved to log files. The filename of each log file indicates the operation, the project name, and the date and time the information was generated. The filename is generated in the operation_projectname_yyyymmmmhhss.log format, where the date and time is given in year, month, minute, hour, and second.
When you clear or close the Log window, the remaining information is automatically saved to the current log file on disk, including the information in the buffer. Select the <name of the option> option in the Tools Settings page of the Edit Run Configuration dialog box to clear the Log window before running it. This results in a new log file being created with every run and this log file mirrors what appears in the Log window. If that option is not selected, then every new run of a project in the same session concatenates in one log file, just as it does in the Log window.
Note that after you have selected this option, the output from all run operations are saved to log files. The number and length of these files can quickly become quite large.
Enter a directory for the saved log files. The directory is automatically created.
Enter a number that determines the maximum number of lines to be displayed in the Log window. After the maximum is exceeded, the previous information is cleared from the window. The default value is 3000.

3.8.9 Preferences Dialog - Credentials Page
Use to provide credentials to be used when the HTTP Analyzer secured services or applications, for example, web services secured by policies. More
Oracle Data Integrator has a set of preconfigured credentials, HTTPS Credential, and this is always present. You cannot delete or edit HTTPS Credential, but you can copy it to create a new credential of the same type.
Once you have configured credentials in this page, you can choose which to use in the HTTP Analyzer Test window.
3.8.10 Preferences Dialog - Credentials - HTTP Keystore Tab Page
HTTPS encrypts an HTTP message prior to transmission and decrypts it upon arrival. It uses a public key certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority. When Integrated WebLogic Server is started for the first time, it generates a DemoIdentity that is unique to your machine, and the key in it is used to set up the HTTPS channel. Use this tab to enter details of the certificate keystore for the client and for the server.
The client keystore identity is used for configuring HTTPS. The server keystore identity is used when the HTTP Analyzer is acting as a server; it is not used when connecting to a remote server.
For more information about keystores and keystore providers, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Understanding Security for Oracle WebLogic Server.
When the default credential HTTPS Credential is selected, you need to specify the keystores that Oracle Data Integrator and the HTTP Analyzer should use when handling HTTPS traffic. Two keystores are required to run the HTTP Analyzer: one containing the certificates of all the hosts to be trusted by Oracle Data Integrator and the Analyzer (client trust) when it makes onward connections, the other containing a key that the Analyzer can use to authenticate itself to calling clients (server keystore). The client keystore is only required when mutual authentication is required.
