Note
When specifying TransportTypeData configuration data for an adapter built using the Adapter Framework, all the name/value pairs that are used must be stored into the <AdapterConfig> element. Since the <AdapterConfig> element specifies the VT_BSTR (vt="8") data type then the < > characters in the data must be escaped.
