Configuring a Runtime Instance

The properties for the runtime instance and the resources are divided into optional and required groupings. There are default settings for all required properties except the Error Transport and the No Hit Transport properties. These values must be identified, based on the endpoints configured on the server.

The icons next to each property provide visual cues to easily distinguish what has and has not been configured.

• = missing or invalid property value

• = optional value not defined

• = valid value
