Parameter Files
                   
                  Parameter files are used in combination with 
                    adaptors in which are defined variable parts.
                    Variable parts look like this : %paramName%
                    
                    At execution time, each parameter is replaced by its value, 
                    given in the parameter file.
                  For example, here's an adaptor with variable 
                    parts :
                  <?xml version="1.0" 
                    encoding="UTF-8"?>
                    <retic_adaptor>
                    <source name="HausseTarifaire" type="SQLTreeSource" 
                    msgSize="1" dbType="odbc" polls="1" 
                    db="/" dsn="teradata_4700" exitOnError="n" 
                    user="alexander" password="majojo" encoding="UTF-8" 
                    pollPeriod="0" rootTag="EDITION_HAUSSE">
                    <treeQuery >
                    <query name="CLIENT" type="query" recTag="CLIENT" 
                    childLink="" SQL="lock dev_facture.contrat_fdp 
                    for access select * from dev_facture.contrat_fdp where rang 
                    between %rang_min% and %rang_max%" 
                    parentLink="">
                    <query name="COORD" type="query" recTag="COORD" 
                    childLink="c.id_contrat" SQL="select a.* from 
                    histo_horus.contrat c, histo_horus.adresse a where a.id_adresse 
                    = c.id_adresse_facturation" parentLink="id_contrat"/>
                    </query>
                    </treeQuery>
                    <sink name="SaveToBigFile" type="fileSink" 
                    filePath="%filePath%" 
                    writeMethod="append" fileType="xml" fileName="BigHausseTar%numero_topic%.xml" 
                    addTimestamp="n"/>
                    <sink name="xmlBlasterSink" type="xmlBlasterSink" 
                    qos="<qos></qos>" url="http://194.214.207.44:8080" 
                    user="ADI" key="<key oid=''><hausseTarifaire>%numero_topic%</hausseTarifaire></key> 
                    " password="pass"/>
                    </source>
                    <logger name="FileHandler14" type="logger" 
                    format="%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s" level="INFO" 
                    fileName="%filePath%\hausse_%numero_topic%.log" 
                    handler="FileHandler" mode="a"/>
                    </retic_adaptor>
                     
                  Here is an example of parameter file that would 
                    fit with it : 
                  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                    <params>
                    +++<rang_min>0</rang_min>
                    +++<rang_max>9000</rang_max>
                    +++<numero_topic>1</numero_topic>
                    +++<filePath>e:\ADI</filePath>
                    </params> 
                  If the adaptor is launched with this parameter 
                    file, each occurence of %filePath% will be replaced by "e:\ADI" 
                    (as found in the parameter file), each occurence of %numero_topic% 
                    will be replaced by "1", and so on for rang_min 
                    and rang_max...
