Specifying Other Runtime Settings

Specifies the polling interval, in seconds, for the adapter. This specifies how frequently this adapter checks for input.

Upon polling, if the adapter finds input, it creates an appropriate InterSystems IRIS object and passes the object to its associated business service. If several inputs are detected at once, the adapter processes all of them sequentially until no more are found. The adapter sends one request to the business service for each item of input it finds. The adapter then waits for the polling interval to elapse before checking for input again. This cycle continues whenever the production is running and the business service is enabled and scheduled to be active.

It is possible to set a property in the business service so that the adapter delays for the duration of the CallInterval in between processing each input. For details, see Developing Productions.

The default CallInterval is 5 seconds. The minimum is 0.1 seconds.

ID of the production credentials that can authorize a connection to the given DSN. For information on creating production credentials, see Configuring Productions.

Specifies whether to keep the connection open between commands, such as issuing an SQL statement or changing an ODBC driver setting.

• If this setting is 0, the adapter will disconnect immediately after each SQL command.

• If this setting is –1, the adapter auto-connects on startup and then stays connected. Use this value, for example, if you are managing database transactions as described in Managing Transactions.

This setting can also be positive (which specifies the idle time after each SQL command, in seconds), but such a value is not useful for the SQL inbound adapter, which works by polling. (If the idle time is longer than the polling interval [CallInterval], the adapter stays connected all the time. If the idle time is shorter than the polling interval, the adapter disconnects and reconnects at every polling interval — meaning that the idle time is essentially ignored.)
