Common File Format

Example configuration files are included in the examples>ADK directory. The examples illustrate the various modes and data representations. In the sample configuration files, the configuration file names have a .dat extension.

New Era of Networks adapters require the following common configuration files, which are structured using the following format. This format is an example of the structure you would use:

<group name or stanza name>
	<key 1>=<value1>
    <key 2>=<value2>
    <key n>=<valuen>

For example:

#sample configuration file
Adapter
	adapter=pluginname
    mode=ACQUIRE
    data=NDO
    queue.in.name=INQ

The keys are case sensitive.

The following keys must be considered as pairs:

Additional information about the use of these keys is available in “Configuration Keys”.

Key and value pairs are defined in the configuration file used during the startup of the e-ADK AdapterShell. Available keys are described in “Configuration Keys”.

NoteThe following warning message appears when the program starts up:

Default config file ’/Dir/Path/nnsyreg.dat’ is not being used.

This warning message appears because the e-ARE does not use the nnsyreg.dat. This message can be ignored.
