You configure connector properties from Connector Configurator.
Regardless of the integration broker, you also configure meta-objects to
enable the connector to process different business objects differently.
- Note:
- It is inadvisable to run the JText Connector with the Parallel Process Degree
Resource set to a value greater than 1. For more information on
Parallel Process Degree, see the System Administration
Guide.
A connector obtains its configuration values at startup. During a
runtime session, you might want to change the values of one or more connector
properties. Changes to connector properties can be:
- Dynamic--These changes take effect immediately after they are
made.
- Static--These changes require either connector component restart or
system restart before they take effect.
To determine whether a property is dynamic or static, refer to the
configuration utility for your integration broker.
Connectors have two types of configuration properties:
- Standard configuration properties
- Connector-specific configuration properties
You must set the values of some of these properties before running the
connector.
You use meta-objects to configure the following aspects of connector
behavior:
- Which data handler to use.
- Which mode JText process in, binary or text.
- From what directory to poll for event files.
- What file extension to use for event files.
- If archiving, what directory to use for archiving files.
- If archiving, what file extension to use when archiving files that have
been processed.
- Whether to pick up events from different objects in different directories
or pick up multiple files in the same event directory.
