This section summarizes the tasks you must perform to install, configure, and design your HTTP solution. Each section briefly describes the tasks and then provides links to sections in this document (and cross references to related documents) that describe how to perform the task or provide background information.
See Installation and startup for a description of what and where you must install.
Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties and connector-specific configuration properties. Some of these properties have default values that you do not need to change. You may need to set the values of some of these properties before running the connector. For more information, see HTTP connector.
You configure protocol handlers and listeners when you assign values to connector configuration properties that govern the behavior of these components. For more information, see HTTP connector.
Depending on the data handler(s) you are using with the HTTP connector, there may be an ODA available. ODA's automate the process of creating and modifying business objects. Otherwise, you can manually create or modify business objects using Business Object Designer. For further information, see the documentation for the data handler you are using and the Business Object Development Guide.
You configure the data handler meta-object(s) after you install the product files, but before startup. You start by specifying a connector-specific configuration property, the DataHandlerMetaObjectName. You specify the name of the top-level meta-object (MO_DataHandler_Default) that the data handler uses to retrieve configuration properties. Then follow any additional configuration steps required by the data handler you are using. You can optionally specify a data handler using the MimeType TLO attribute. For further information, see Table 5.
