iWay Explorer enables you to create event ports from the iWay Adapters tab or from the iWay Events tab. You also can modify or delete an existing port.
You can bypass the iWay Events tab and create an event port directly from the iWay Adapters tab.
The following image shows the selected transactions object under JDEConnection and Events in the left pane. It shows available operations in the right pane.
The Create Event Port dialog box opens in the right pane, as shown in the following image, with fields that allow you to define the port.
The Specify Disposition dialog box opens in the right pane.
For information on configuring port dispositions, see Creating an Event Port From the iWay Events Tab.
The following procedures describe how to create an event port from the iWay Events tab for various dispositions using iWay Explorer. You can switch between an iBSP and a JCA deployment by choosing one or the other from the drop-down menu in the upper right of iWay Explorer.
The following dispositions are available when using iWay Explorer in conjunction with an iBSP deployment.
The following dispositions are available when using iWay Explorer in conjunction with a JCA connector deployment.
You also can create an event port directly from the iWay Adapters tab. For more information, see Creating an Event Port From the iWay Adapters Tab.
The Create New Port dialog box opens in the right pane. The following image is an example of this dialog box with File chosen as the disposition protocol.
When pointing iWay Explorer to an iBSP deployment, specify the destination file using the following format:
ifile://[location]; errorTo=[pre-defined port name or another disposition url]
When pointing iWay Explorer to a JCA deployment, specify the full path to the directory.
The following table lists and describes the disposition parameters for File.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
location | Destination and file name of the document where event data is written, for example, D:\in\x.txt. |
errorTo | Predefined port name or another disposition URL to which error logs are sent. Optional. |
The port appears under the ports node in the left pane. In the right pane, a table appears that summarizes the information associated with the event port you created.
You are ready to associate the event port with a channel. For more information, see Creating a Channel.

msmq:/host/private$/qName; errorTo=[pre-defined port name or another disposition url]
Note: This syntax is for a private queue. Private queues are queues that are not published in Active Directory. They appear only on the local computer that contains them. Private queues are accessible only by Message Queuing applications that recognize the full path name or format name of the queue.

You are now ready to associate the event port with a channel. For more information, see Creating a Channel.
When pointing iWay Explorer to an iBSP deployment, specify the destination using the following format:
jmsq:myQueueName@myQueueFac;jndiurl=[myurl]; jndifactory=[myfactory];user=[user];password=[xxx]; errorTo=[pre-defined port name or another disposition url]
When pointing iWay Explorer to a JCA deployment, specify the destination using the following format:
jms:jmsqueue@jmsfactory;jndiurl=;jndifactory=;
The following table lists and describes the disposition parameters for JMSQ.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
myQueueName or jmsqueue | JNDI name of a queue to which events are emitted. |
myQueueFac or jmsfactory | A resource that contains information about the JMS Server. |
jndiurl | The URL to use to contact the JNDI provider. The syntax of this URL depends on the JNDI provider being used. This value corresponds to the standard JNDI property. java.naming.provider.url |
jndifactory | Is JNDI context. INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY and is provided by the JNDI service provider. |
user | Valid user name required to access a JMS server. |
password | Valid password required to access a JMS server. |
errorTo | Predefined port name or another disposition URL to which error logs are sent. Optional. |
The port appears under the ports node in the left pane. In the right pane, a table appears that summarizes the information associated with the event port you created.

The SOAP disposition allows an event response to launch a Web service specified by a WSDL file. A soapaction is optional, the default is "".
To create a port for a SOAP disposition using iWay Explorer:
The Create New Port pane opens on the right.
soap:[wsdl-url];soapaction=[myaction]; method=[web service method];namespace=[namespace]; responseTo=[pre-defined port name or another disposition URL]; errorTo=[pre-defined port name or another disposition url]
The following table lists and defines the parameters for the disposition.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
wsdl-url | The URL to the WSDL file that is required to create the SOAP message, for example, http://localhost:7001/ibse/IBSEServlet/test/webservice.ibs?wsdl where:
This value can be found by navigating to the iWay Business Services tab and opening the Service Description option in a new window. The WSDL URL appears in the Address field. You can also open the WSDL file in a third party XML editor and view the SOAP request settings to find this value. |
