Naming Convention

Naming Convention

A naming convention makes it easy to identify the files that belong to an adapter and the usage of those files.
Use the following guidelines when you name the adapter files:
  • Determine a name for the adapter. Use the adapter name as a prefix for the adapter file names. The adapter name is an alphanumeric string that can include the uppercase and lowercase letters A to Z and the numbers 0 to 9. The first character of the name must be a letter.
  • Determine a unique name to identify the company building the adapter. The company name is included in the package name for the adapter classes.
  • Use the adapter name when you create a directory for the adapter in the Informatica directory: 
    INFA_HOME\plugins\dynamic\
    AdapterName
The following table lists the recommended naming convention for adapter files:
