Configuring the business object parsing mode

You can set the business object parsing mode (the XML parsing mode for business objects) only by using Integration Designer. You can only view the parsing mode for an application by using either the administrative console or a command with IBM® Business Process Manager.

A module can be configured to run in eager or lazy XML parsing mode for business objects. In eager mode, XML data is processed as soon as it is available. In lazy mode, XML data processing time and storage is minimized by applying strategies such as delayed parsing until access, copy on write and serializing the original, unprocessed bytes, where possible. In either XML parsing mode, non-XML data is always eagerly parsed to create the business object.

Use Integration Designer to configure an application to use either lazy or eager parsing. For more details about setting the business object parsing mode, see Configuring the business object parsing mode of modules and libraries. The parsing mode setting you choose is saved in the root directory of the module or library project as sca_metata.xml.

Important: If you select lazy parsing mode, consider adding explicit data validation that is executed immediately upon data arrival, using the SCA data validation qualifier or business object XML document validation.
