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 adapter entry, see
Using the Property Administration Utility.
Component Information
The property administration utility lists property sets and components defined under the root 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
Services include core Info*Engine components. You can create services for the Info*Engine server, servlets, naming service, task processor, and generic services.
Adapters
Adapters provide an interface between Info*Engine and information systems.
The following adapters are included in a standard Windchill installation:
The following adapters are also supported:
Additionally, customers can develop a custom adapter using the
Info*Engine Java Adapter Kit. For more information, see
About the JADK.
Property Sets
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.
