Configuration

You can create properties files by using a text editor or the Adapter Framework Editor. A configuration can contain any number of source, sink, and pipe components, and their respective readers and formatters. The SAP Open adapter can also read properties from XML documents.

Each adapter properties file contains the configuration for a single adapter. An adapter property specifies the adapter, component, and property names:

AdapterName. ComponentName.PropertyName=PropertyValue

For example:

A # character in the first column denotes a comment line.

#
# Adaptor ‘Dynamic2’ Component ‘BalanceInMQ
#
Dynamic2.BalanceInMQ.QueueManager=QM_Test Dynamic2.BalanceInMQ.Queue=TEST.BALANCE.IN … #
# Adaptor ‘Dynamic2’ Component ‘EventInMQ’
#
Dynamic2.EventInMQ.QueueManager=QM_Tes t Dynamic2.EventInMQ.Queue=TEST.EVENT.IN

Properties may be qualified to more levels. Ensure that properties that define a field are defined for both the field name and the field type. For example:

Dynamic2.EventInMQ.Field1=Date Dynamic2.EventInMQ.Date.Name=CurrentDate Dynamic2.
EventInMQ.Date.Type=Datetime

The Open adapter supports properties for individual components. You can use a number of statements in the adapter properties file to simplify the definition of properties.
