Configuration
Adapter Class
The class name for the inbound adapter associated with this business service, or if there is no associated
adapter class. This field has a gray background because it is read-only. Its value is determined by the business
service class definition in the source code.
Adapter SETTINGS
Below the Adapter Class, various other fields display. The exact fields vary depending on the adapter class.
Whatever is listed in the SETTINGS parameter for the business service class or its associated adapter class appears
in the Specific Settings. When you hover the cursor over a field name, if there is a description of this field in the
class code, its description displays. Validation for the data you enter is performed using the data types in the class
code.
Alert Grace Period
Call Interval
Credentials
Business services can be configured with an Alert Grace Period during which errors relating to external connections
do not trigger alerts, even if Alert On Error is True. The Alert Grace Period is allowed to elapse, giving the business
service and the external source time to reestablish their connection. If the error condition still exists after the Alert
Grace Period, the business service triggers an alert; otherwise no alert is triggered.
Setting Alert Grace Period to 0 disables this feature for the business service.
Many inbound adapters have a configurable setting called Call Interval. This integer determines how frequently
the business service invokes the associated inbound adapter to obtain new input. Call Interval has a minimum of
0.1 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Some inbound adapters make remote connections that require a username and password. Ensemble stores these
login credentials in a centralized table that can be viewed and edited only by users with access to the [Ensemble]
> [Maintenance] > [Credentials] page. Each entry in the Credentials table has an ID by which you can refer to it
when configuring adapters for the production.
If an inbound adapter requires credentials, the Specific Settings include a Credentials field. If this field is present,
it must contain an ID from the table on the [Ensemble] > [Maintenance] > [Credentials] page. If there is no current
Credentials entry for the remote system that this business service needs to connect to, you must create it. After
creating the new entry in the [Ensemble] > [Maintenance] > [Credentials] page, go back to the configuration page
and enter the new ID in the Credentials field.
5.2.4 Business Process Settings
When you select a business process in the configuration diagram on the [Ensemble] > [Productions] > [Configuration] page,
the runtime settings for this business process display in the lower portion of the page. For the most part, these settings
describe how the process communicates with other items within Ensemble.
General Settings
The configuration page permits you to view or edit the General Settings described in the previous section with the following
additional notes that apply specifically to business processes:
• Enabled — When you clear this check box, the Ens.Actor queue continues to accept messages addressed to it, but none
of these messages are processed until you enable the business process again.
• Pool Size — This number could be larger to allow higher throughput in some circumstances. If this number is 0, the
business process has no private pool of jobs, and uses jobs from the public actor pool for the production.
