Setting message flow user-defined properties at run time by using a custom integration application
Use the IBM® Integration API to query, discover, and set message flow user-defined properties dynamically at run time. You can use the IBM Integration API to set properties with a data type of character.
Before you begin
For user-defined properties on a message flow to be discoverable,
the message flow must comply with the following conditions:
- The message flow must contain at least one of the following nodes:
- JavaCompute
- Compute
- Database
- Filter
- The message flow must define the relevant user-defined property and provide an override value.
About this task
Tip: Use meaningful names and values for the
properties that you define, so that you can understand their purpose
and intent quickly. For example, a user-defined property named property01, with an initial value
of valueA is not as useful
as a property named RouteToAorB with
an initial value of RouteA.
To query, discover, and set user-defined properties on a message flow, use the IBM Integration API to issue the following calls. For details about the calls, including the syntax and parameters to use, see the IBM Integration API documentation (IBM Integration API).
