Configurations encapsulate the variable information required for common transport Activities and for database connections. Typically configurations encapsulate information such as:

• Source and target identification and addressing and

• Security credentials

By encapsulating the implementation-specific information in configurations, LANSA Composer allows a single Activity and often a single Processing Sequence to be used with multiple variations of a business process (such as for multiple trading partners).

Specific configuration types support the supplied transport activities. They are:

• FTP Configurations

• HTTP Configurations

• SMTP Server Configurations

• SMTP Mail Details

• POP3 Configurations

• SMS Configurations

• Messaging Configurations

In addition, the special type of Database Configuration is provided to support encapsulating database details for databases used with Transformation Maps.
