Gateway configuration

This section discusses general message formatting that applies to gateways.

Gateway specific message formats are described in a gateway configuration file. The location of this file for gateway of a particular type is determined from the GwTypeConfigFileName parameter of the cell. Its default value is %H/etc/gateway.Type where Type represents the type of gateway.

Example default parameter values for TEC and jServer gateways:

  • GwTECConfigFileName=%H/etc/gateway.TEC
    which means: installationDirectory/pw/server/etc/gateway.TEC 
  • GwjServerConfigFileName=%H/etc/gateway.jServer
    which means: installationDirectory/pw/server/etc/gateway.jServer

A gateway configuration file contains parameter settings in the form of parameter=setting.

Parameters can be specified differently for new events and for event modifications. The parameter name must be suffixed with

  • .new for new events 
  • .mod for event modifications

Without a suffix, the setting is assumed to be on both categories. Both the contents of a message and its format are specified using parameters.
