You can control mediation flows between service requesters
and service providers, administratively.
You can control mediation flows by changing module properties.
The module properties set the values of mediation primitive properties.
Module properties
You can change the properties
of Service Component Architecture (SCA) modules that contain mediation
flows. You can make changes in the following ways:
- When you install an application.
- From the administrative console
- Using an administrative command
- When you administer an application.
- From the administrative console
- Using an administrative command
The properties that you can change are those that have
been promoted from WebSphere® Integration Developer.
Any property that you promote is also a dynamic property (which means
that it can be overridden at run time using a mediation policy).
The
module properties displayed on the administrative console, can do
the following:
- Change the values of properties in a mediation flow.
- Provide default values for mediation flows that use mediation
policies. (Promoted property values are used when there
are no suitable mediation policy values. For further information,
see the mediation policy model.)
Promoted properties always have a name, a type, and a
value; you can change the value, administratively.
In addition,
promoted properties can belong to a group (property groups are introduced
in Version 6.2). Property groups can do the following:
- Separate multiple properties that have the same name. An administrator
sets property values inside groups. You might have one group for properties
on the request flow, and another group for properties on the response
flow.
- Set multiple properties (of the same type) under one name. If
the integration developer promotes two properties with the same alias
name and group, then the administrator can set their values together.
You might have logging for the request flow and the response flow,
and want to set both at the same time.
- Map to a namespace in a mediation policy.
