Native

Used to specify the name of the .dll file that is instantiated for the application shim component of the driver. If this option is selected, the driver is running locally.

Remote Loader Client Configuration for Documentation

Includes information on the Remote Loader client configuration when Designer generates documentation for the Delimited Text driver.

Authentication ID

Specify a user application ID. This ID is used to pass Identity Vault subscription information to the application.

Example: Administrator

Remote Loader Connection Parameters

or

Host name

Port

KMO

Other parameters

Used only if the driver is connecting to the application through the Remote Loader. The parameter to enter is hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port=xxxx kmo=certificatename, when the host name is the IP address of the application server running the Remote Loader server and the port is the port the Remote Loader is listening on. The default port for the Remote Loader is 8090.

The kmo entry is optional. It is used only when an SSL connection exists between the Remote Loader and the Metadirectory engine.

Example: hostname=10.0.0.1 port=8090 kmo=IDMCertificate

Application Password

or

Set Password

Specify the password for the user object listed in the Authentication ID field.

Manual

The driver does not start when the Identity Manager server is started. The driver must be started through Designer or iManager.

Do not automatically synchronize the driver

This option applies only if the driver is deployed and was previously disabled. If this is not selected, the driver re-synchronizes the next time it is started.

Edit XML

Opens an editor so that you can edit the driver’s configuration file.

Field Delimiter

Specifies the character that is used to delimit field values in the input files. It must be one character. The default is a comma.

If the values of any of the input fields contain this character, enclose the entire value in quotes to prevent it from being seen as a delimiter.

Changing this delimiter parameter to something other than a comma does not automatically change the delimiter character used in the output files when a Subscriber is used. To change the delimiter character in the output files, edit the Output Transform style sheet. The delimiter character is assigned to a variable near the top of that style sheet.

Object Class Name

Specifies the Novell® eDirectory™ class name that should be used when creating new objects to correspond to input files.

Subscriber Options

Output File Extension

Output files have a unique name that ends with the characters in the Output File Extension parameter. If the output files from a Subscriber channel are used as input files for the Publisher channel of another Delimited Text driver, the destination file extension must match the source file extension parameter of the second driver.

Maximum Number of Transactions per Output File

Specifies the maximum number of transactions that are written to a single output file. When the file transaction limit is reached, the file closes, and a new file is created for subsequent transactions. To limit the number of transactions that can be written to a single file, leave this parameter blank or set it to zero.

For more information, see the following item, Maximum Time in Seconds Before Flushing All Transactions.

Time of Day (Local Time) to Flush All Transactions

If a value is supplied for this parameter, the current output file is closed at the specified time each day. Subsequent transactions are written to a new file. This parameter does not prevent the Maximum Number of Transactions per Output File or the Maximum Time in Seconds before Flushing All Transactions parameters from also acting as output file thresholds. If you use this parameter and only want one file per day, set the other two parameters to zero.

The format of this parameter can be HH:MM:SS (using the 24-hour clock) or H:MM:SS AM/PM. An hour is required, but the minutes and seconds are optional. Because the parameter assumes local time, any time zone information included in the value is ignored.

The previous three parameters (Maximum Number of Transactions per Output File, Maximum Time in Seconds before Flushing All Transactions, and Time of Day to Flush All Transactions) are all capable of acting as a threshold for the transaction size a file is able to grow to, or for the time that it remains open to accept new transactions.

As long as an output file is still open for writing by the Delimited Text driver, it shouldn’t be considered as finalized. Avoid opening the file in any other process until the driver closes the file. For this reason, one of the three previous parameters must be set to assure that output files don’t remain open indefinitely. To avoid this condition, if the driver detects that all three parameters are blank (or zero), it automatically sets the Maximum Number of Transactions per Output File to the value of 1.

Input File Path

The Publisher channel looks for new input files in the Input File Path, which is a directory on the local file system. Example paths:

Source File Character Encoding (leave blank for default)

When this parameter contains no value, the default Java character encoding for your locale is used.

To use an encoding other than the default for your locale, enter one of the canonical names from the Supported Encodings table (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html). Supported Encodings table.

If the Input File Extension parameter is .xml, the Source File Character Encoding can be indicated in one of two ways. For information, see Source File Character Encoding.

Polling Rate (in Seconds)

When the Publisher channel has finished processing all source files, it waits the number of seconds specified in this parameter before checking for new source files to process.
