  3. Accept the default values for each of the required activation specification properties. Activation specification properties hold the inbound event processing configuration information for a message endpoint.
  4. Type a value for each of the following required FlatFiles properties. These are activation specification properties that are specific to the adapter.
    1. Uncheck the Archiving Processed check box.
    2. In the Event Directory field, type the repository path name where the event files are stored. The event directory must be created on your local directory or the wizard will not be able to find inbound events.
    3. In the DataSourceJNDI Name field, type the JNDI name of the data source created on WebSphere Process Server. For purposes of this tutorial, use jdbc/FFDB as the DataSource JNDIName.
    4. In the Event Table Name field, type the name of the table used by the adapter for event persistence. For purposes of this tutorial, use FFDB as the EventTableName.
    5. In the EventContentType field, type the mime type of the event file. For purposes of this tutorial, use text/xml as the EventContentType.
