Supports JVM sharing

Specifies whether the application connector can share a JVM or not. If this check box is selected, it indicates that other application connectors can also be hosted in the same Service Container, to which the application connector is configured.


  • True - Can share a JVM
  • False - Cannot share a JVM

Use custom classpath

This refers to the Service Container classpath that is identified while defining an application connector By selecting custom classpath, you can choose only the necessary .jar files and the location of these files can be used as classpath entries.
Note: These classpath entries must be relative to the <Process_Platform_Installation_Directory> separated by commas. Service Containers configured for the application connector use these entries in their classpath.For example, if an entry is abc/xyz.jar,<classfile location>, the classpath of the Service Container contains <Process Platform Installation Directory/abc/xyz.jar;<Process_Platform_Installation_Directory>/<classfile location>.Click and provide the location in the empty row that is added to the table.


  • components/Appconn/Appconn.jar
  • cordyscp.jar


Logging Categories tab

Description

Example

Process Platform provides certain default logger categories and trace levels. Apart from these, you can also specify some custom categories that have to be published. Click and provide the following details:

  • Name - Specify the name of the category group
  • Category - Specify the name of the class for which the logs must be recorded


  • Name - Relay Connector
  • Category - com.cordys.relay.snapper


Startup Dependencies tab

Description

Example

Specifies the list of dependent namespaces for the Service Container to start. Click and type the namespace in the empty row that is added to the table.

Note: To initialize a set of Service Containers in batches, it is necessary to define a dependency list. This list is associated with the application connector, hence is a part of the Application Connector configuration. Refer to Role of Application Developer in the batch start of Service Containers for more information.
