Configuring Listeners
SOPERA Adapter requires a listener to listen for inbound requests from the SOPERA infrastructure. Use the following procedure to create a listener on SOPERA Adapter to respond to requests issued by the SOPERA infrastructure.
*To create a listener on SOPERA Adapter
1. In Integration Server Administrator, select Adapters > SOPERA Adapter.
2. In the SOPERA Adapter menu, click Listeners.
3. Select Configure new listener and then select SOPERA invocation listener from the list of available listener types.
4. Complete the following fields on the Configure Listener Type screen:
Field
Description/Action
Package
The package in which to create the listener. You must create the package using Designer before you can specify it using this parameter. For general information about creating packages, see the webMethods Service Development Help.
Note:
Configure the listener in a user-defined package rather than in the adapter’s package. See Package Management for other important considerations when creating packages for SOPERA Adapter.
Folder Name
The folder in which to create the listener.
Listener Name
The name of the new listener.
Connection Name
The name of the connection to associate with the new listener.
From the list of connections, select an appropriate connection that you created on the Configure Connections Type screen.
Retry Limit
The number of times the adapter tries to reconnect if the adapter fails to connect, or loses connection with the SOPERA infrastructure.
Default: 5
Retry Backoff Timeout
The number of seconds that elapse between each of the retries specified in the retry limit.
Default: 10
5. Click Save Listener.
The adapter listener is created. The listener name is prefixed by the folder name and is separated by a colon. For example: If the folder name is “Folder1” and the listener name is “Listener1”, then the listener name in the Listeners screen will be “Folder1:Listener1”.
