Maintain runtime configuration dev/prod

[Former Member]

I have a mapping (XSLT) which needs to fill in user and password for an external system. Actually, this XSLT creates a multipart document which needs to contain that user/pwd information.

Now when I transport that mapping to production, the user/pwd will change. What is the std XI way of storing/reading such dev/prod configuration differences if it cannot be stored in a communication channel, but needs to be done inside the IR objects ?

- Value Mapping ? Seems like that is designed for other requirements.

- creating a special configuration SW-component and modify the information there (in dev and prod separately) ? But in which object ? E.g. an xml configuration as imported archive ?

For obvious reasons, I want to avoid manually changing the mapping object everytime after transport to prod.

Thanks for the answers so far, but none of those solutions are really useful.

In the meantime, we are using the Seeburger mapping variables (key/value pairs), which are easily configurable in the browser of their workbench, separate for each system. And can be accessed in the mapping.

That is what I was looking for in the XI standard.

An alternative could be to use the DynamicConfigurationBean, but that is tied to a communication channel.

Hi Chris,

You can try creating an adapter module to enhance your payload with user id/password information stored in ID.

<ul>

<li>Your scenario should have Java based adapter at Sender or Receiver side</li>

<li>Need to write a custom adapter module bean which will read the user id and password from ID configuration and enhance the payload</li>

<li>Your password fieldname should start with pwd so that XI/PI will treat this field as password field and mask the password value</li>

<li>You can maintain the password for each landscape like DEV/QA/PROD in adapter module parameters tab and no need to change the IR objects</li>

</ul>

Hi,

You can use property of getting system id based on this system id, fill ypur credentials.

hi

You can use a properties file check this,

Else use secure storage service which is more standard
