Property Administrator Main Page

From the property administration main page, you can find information about services and adapters as well as create and manage entries or forms. For more information and an example of an LDAP adapter entry, see Using the Property Administration Utility.

The property administration utility lists property sets and components defined under the root LDAP directory entry of an Info*Engine subtree. This directory is identified in the Base URI value displayed when logging on.

Click a service or adapter name to open a new window displaying its properties configuration.

Services include core Info*Engine components identified in an LDAP entry. You can create services for the Info*Engine server, servlets, naming service, task processor, and generic services.

Adapters provide an interface between Info*Engine and information systems.

The following adapters are included in a standard Windchill installation:

◦ Windchill Adapter–For more information, see the Windchill Adapter Guide

◦ JNDI Adapter—For more information, see theJNDI Adapter Guide

Additionally, customers can develop a custom adapter using the Info*Engine Java Adapter Kit. For more information, see the Info*Engine Java Adapter Development Kit Programming Reference.

Property sets, unlike services and adapters, do not represent a configuration of tasks, webject processors, or other Info*Engine processes. A property set is a way to group properties together with a common prefix.

For example, if your system uses multiple JMS services, the configuration of each can be defined as a property set with a unique prefix. Each property set can then be used in the SERVICE parameter for JMS message and Web Event Service webjects. For more information, see the Info*Engine User's Guide
