Misc Tab

In the Misc tab, set miscellaneous fields that control the behavior of the adapter.

  1. In Working directory name, specify the default path for the adapter output files (Data source control, translation, sends). The default is the output directory (folder) in the directory where the configuration file exists.
  2. In Data source control file name, type the name of the file that the adapter uses to keep track of the last data records retrieved from the data source. If not specified, the default value is used (DataSourceControl.xml).
  3. In Send file name, type the name of the file that holds the unified events before they are sent to the server. If not specified, the default value is used (Send.txt).
  4. In Send control file name, type the name of the file that the adapter uses to keep track of the sending process. If not specified, the default value is used (SendControl.xml).
  5. In Pending events file name, type the name of the file that the adapter uses to keep track of the data record that was retrieved from the data source and ignored due to translation needs. If not specified, the default value is used (RejectedEvents.txt).
  6. In Translation tables file name, type the name of the translation tables file. If not specified, the default value is used (Translation.xml).
  7. In Work file name, type the name of the work file. This file is used as a work file from which the adapter reads entries. When the After processing parameter in the Details tab of the Data Source Interface step is set to Keep file, entries are copied to this file from the input file. When it is set to Delete file, the file is renamed to this name. If not specified, the default value is used (WorkFile.txt).
  8. In Illegal events directory name, type the name of the illegal events directory. By default, this directory is located under the directory where the configuration file is located. If not specified, the default value is used (IllegalEvents).
  9. Click Save.

    The Adapter Wizard page General step opens.
