Specifies whether the adapter connection stores the password in the passman store and the password handle in the connection node. When the watt.art.connection.nodeVersion parameter is set to 1, the password is embedded in the adapter connection. When the parameter is set to 2, the password handle is stored in the adapter connection. The default is 2. Software AG recommends using the default value. Every time you set a new value for this parameter, you must restart Integration Server or reload the WmART package.

When the value of the watt.art.connection.nodeVersion parameter is 2, during run time-based deployment with webMethods Deployer you must perform variable substitution for the password field to deploy the password to the target system.
