Adding gateway properties to an enterprise service

The gateway is the entry point for enterprise service messages, excluding those that are delivered directly from an external queue to the integration queue. An interpreter Java™ class can be implemented that can change the external system (SENDER) or the enterprise service (INTERFACE) and can set other JMS header properties as needed. In the Enterprise Services application, you can set gateway properties either as hard-coded values or by specifying XML tags.

Before you begin

Review the following points about the settings in the Gateway Properties before you configure the gateway properties:
  • If you select the XML Tag check box and leave the Value field null, the gateway uses the name of the root element in the XML message as the value for the corresponding property.
  • If you select the XML Tag check box and enter a tag name in the Value field, the gateway uses the value for that tag as the value for the corresponding property.
  • If the tag appears multiple times in the XML message, the adapter uses the value of the first occurrence of the tag. If you clear the XML Tag check box and enter a data value in the Value field, the gateway uses that data as the value for the corresponding property.

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Services application, display the service for which you want to add a gateway property.
  2. Select the Gateway Properties action.
  3. In the Gateway Properties for Enterprise Service table window, click New Row.
  4. In the Property field, specify the name of the property that you want to include in the message.
  5. In the Value field, type the data that you want to use as the value of the property.
  6. Optional: Specify whether you want to use the XML root element as the value of the corresponding property.
    Option XML Tag
    Use the XML root element Selected
    Do not use the XML root element Cleared
  7. Click OK.
