The iSeries adapter uses standard connector properties for configuration as detailed in the next section and connector-specific properties as detailed in the following section.
Standard configuration properties provide information that all connectors use. See Appendix A, Standard configuration properties for connectors for documentation of these properties.
You must set at least the following standard connector configuration properties before running the connector.
Connector-specific configuration properties provide information needed by the connector at runtime. Connector-specific properties also provide a way of changing static information or logic within the connector agent without having to recode and rebuild the agent.
Table 4 lists the connector-specific configuration properties for
the connector. See the section that follows for explanations of the
properties.
Table 4. Connector-specific configuration properties
Name | Possible values | Default value | Required? |
---|---|---|---|
ExecutionTimeout |
| None | Yes |
UseDefaults | default value | None | Yes |
PollQuantity | An integer greater than 1. | 1 | No |
This is the Timeout where a connector calls the pgm program on an iSeries system.
Typically, some of the input parameters to a program would be constant. So these attributes can be designed to have default values. If there is no default value and the UseDefaults property is set to true, the adapter errors out and throws a VerbProcessingFailedException. If UseDefaults is not set or set to false, and there are no default values, the adapter builds a String of length MaxLength with padded spaces for the attribute values.
Designates the number of items that the connector polls for. If the adapter has set a connector-specific property for the poll quantity, the value set in the connector-specific property will override the standard property value.
