The settings such as the log and timeout settings are coded in the action definition file. There are two types of action definition files:

• Common definition file
  This definition file is used for setting up common system operations. There is only one common definition file.
  
• Process-wise definition file
  This definition file is created for setting up the process-specific operations. You create specific settings for each required process. For example, you create a process-wise definition file when you want to change the settings for each J2EE server and when you want to change the settings for the Web Service client.
  

You can also acquire the message context in the Web Service client for specifying some of the definitions. For the definitions that can be specified as the message context, see 19.2.5(1) Support range of the message context properties.

This section describes the coding rules for the action definition file and the settings for the definition files.
