Working with the properties used during SCA module deployment

This topic tells you how to view and modify the properties that are set for an SCA module, during deployment.

After application installation, you can display and change values for these properties on an administrative console page, SCA Modules > module_name > Module properties.

If you do not change a value, the preset values shown for the properties are used unless they are overridden using a mediation-policy.

Property values are displayed only if the application contains an SCA module with at least one mediation flow component, and the mediation flow component has properties that can be configured through the WebSphere administrative interfaces. (Generally, mediation modules contain at least one mediation flow component.)

If properties belong to a group, they are displayed and administered in their group; otherwise, they are displayed without a group name.

To enable a property to be configured by the administrator, the integration developer marks the property as being promoted. Any property that you promote is also a dynamic property. A dynamic property can be overridden, at run time, using a mediation-policy. Although you can override promoted properties dynamically, you must always specify a valid default value.

The Module Properties panel can display the following details:

Group name (read-only)
The name of the group to which module properties belong. If properties belong to a group they are displayed inside an expandable section; if they do not belong to a group you can view them immediately.
Property name (read-only)
The name of the module property.
Property type (read-only)
The data type of the module property.
Property value
The value of the module property.

If you change the value, the new value is checked to ensure that it is compatible with the type of the property.
