About Service File rules

Create a service package data instance before creating a Service File rule.

NoteEach File Listener instance references a single Service File rule, not a group of rules as in other services.

A Service File rule has three key parts. The class and method name key parts are considered "external" and unrelated to Process Commander class and methods, for flexibility.

Field

Description

Type

Select Service File from the Integration-Services category.

Customer Package Name

Select a package name that groups related Service File rules. Choose a name already defined through a Service Package data instance. See About Service Package data instances.

Customer Class Name

Enter a class name to logically group related methods. This name may or may not refer to the Process Commander class that the activity belongs to, but must be a valid identifier. See How to enter an identifier.

Customer Method Name

Enter an identifier that describes the Process Commander activity being called by the service.

For general information about the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

When searching for a Service File rule, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

Circumstance-qualified and time-qualified resolution features are not available for Service File rules. The class hierarchy is not relevant to Service File rule resolution.
