Example

<rfa serviceName="IDN_RDF"
        config="$ESP_RDMSOMM_HOME/config/rmdsomm.cfg"
        sessionName="Session1" configDatabaseName="RFA" />

This example points the Reuters OMM adapter to the Reuters-side configuration in the file rmdsomm.cfg key. The first five uncommented lines in this configuration file are:

\Connections\Connection_RSSL\connectionType = "RSSL"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL\hostName = "tigris.mycompany.com"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL\rsslPort = "14002"
\Connections\Connection_RSSL\connectRetryInterval = 7000
\Sessions\Session1\connectionList = "Connection_RSSL"

The last of these lines implicitly defines a session name that is defined as the sessionName in the map file. The other three lines from rmdsomm.cfg key on this session name. This is how the value for sessionName ties this publication section of the map file to a configuration set in the .cfg file.

When the adapter publishes using this configuration, each update is identified with the serviceName "IDN_RDF."
