Setting interaction specification properties and generating the service

Interaction specification properties are optional. If you choose to set these properties, the values you specify are displayed as default values in all the parent FTP business objects generated by the external service wizard. Interaction specification properties control the interaction for an operation. While creating the artifacts for the module, the adapter generates an import file. The import file contains the operation for the top-level business object.

1. Optional: To set interaction specification properties, populate the fields in the Operations window. You can also click Advanced to add additional property details.
   1. Type values for any fields you want to set as defaults.

      • In the Prefix for the unique file name field, specify the prefix to be used for generating the unique file name. For more information, see Prefix for the unique file name property (UniqueFilePrefix).
      • In the Suffix for the unique file name field, specify the suffix to be used for generating the unique file name. For more information, see Suffix for the unique file name property (UniqueFileSuffix).
