Service File rules Completing the New or Save As form
About  New  Service  Method  Request  History  More...

Create a Service File rule by selecting Service File from the Integration-Services category.

Create a Service Package data instance before creating a Service File rule.

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

The class and method name key parts of the Service File rule are considered "external" and unrelated to PRPC class and methods, for flexibility.

A Service File rule has three key parts:

Field	Description
Customer Package Name	Select the name of the service package; this package name 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 PRPC class that the activity belongs to, but must be a valid Java identifier. See How to enter a Java identifier.
Customer Method Name	Enter an identifier that describes the PRPC 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.
