General Connector Parameters

A number of parameters are common for most of the connectors. These parameters are described in this section.

  1. JAR-file location.  
    The value for this parameter is entered by the initialization program and it cannot be modified.


  2. Debug settings.
    DEBUG can be set to On or Off in checkbox for all Readers Connectors and some of the of the Sender Connectors. Most of the Sender Connectors are logged in the log file for the Connect instance of the J2EE server, this is configured under Servers, typically J2EE_SERVER.
    Enter a unique file name for each Connector instance.
    DEBUG_LEVEL can be set to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.



    DEBUG is set to Off and DEBUG_LEVEL to Medium by the initialization program.
  3. Retry configuration.
    In many cases a Connector can retry a failing operation, e.g. if an FTP server is not responding, before signaling a permanent error.

    MAX_RETRIES is the maximum number of retries the Connector makes for each message before it places the message in state FAILED.

    RETRY_INTERVAL is the number of seconds between each attempt.



    MAX_RETRIES and RETRY_INTERVAL is set to 60 by the initialization program.
  4. Default Encoding

    In all Connector Readers default encoding is used. When any sting data is converting to byte data this encoding is used.


    5.  

  5. Retry configuration for connector readers

    In some cases messages are unable to read/delete by some Connector Readers (FTP,File,MQ and Mail readers).


    RETRIES is the maximum number of attempts to read/delete a message.

Setting up a connect server to handle RETRIES in readers

jhmase: What is this?

Set up the classpath to the XML framework libraries (start_connectserver1.cmd).

set CLASSPATH=%IFS_HOME%\javaruntime\connectserver.jar;%IFS_HOME%\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-common.jar;%IFS_HOME%\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-sta.jar;%IFS_HOME%\javaruntime\jsr173_api.jar;%IFS_HOME%\javaruntime\sjsxp.jar

Set up the classpath to the XML framework libraries (start_connectserver1.ifm)

$CLASSPATH=&IFS_HOME\javaruntime\connectserver.jar;&IFS_HOME\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-common.jar;&IFS_HOME\javaruntime\ifs-fnd-sta.jar;&IFS_HOME\javaruntime\jsr173_api.jar;&IFS_HOME\javaruntime\sjsxp.jar
