Configuring a Listener
Perform the following procedure to configure a listener node. You can use Designer to configure adapter service nodes.
To configure a listener node
1. Start Integration Server Administrator.
2. In Adapters screen, select the name of your adapter.
3. Select Listeners.
4. In the Listeners screen, click Configure New Listener.
5. In theListener Types screen, select the appropriate listener type defined for the adapter.
6. Complete the Configure Listener Type > Adapter_Name section as follows:
Field | Description\Action |
Package | Namespace node package in which you want to create the listener. |
Folder Name | Name of the folder in which to create the listener. |
Listener Name | Name of the listener node. |
Connection Name | Connection node. |
Retry Limit | Number of times that the system must attempt to start the listener if the initial attempt fails. Specifically, it specifies how many times to retry the listenerStartup method before issuing an AdapterConnectionException. When the value is set to 0, the system makes a single attempt. The default value is 5. |
Retry Backoff Timeout | Number of seconds the system must wait between each attempt to start the listener. This field is irrelevant if the value of Retry Limit is 0. The default value is 10. |
7. Click Save Listener.
Note:
Enabling the listener before you configure and enable its corresponding listener notification node produces a warning.
Note:
A listener instance holds the connection it retrieves during listener initialization for the lifetime of the listener instance. Disabling the connection node will not impact the connection already held by the listener, but it will prevent the listener from starting or restarting in the event of an AdapterConnectionException.
