Configuring the connector

After installation and before startup, you must configure components as described in this section.

Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard and adapter-specific. You must set the values of these properties using Connector Configurator before running the adapter. For further information, see Appendix B, Connector Configurator.

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 some connector configuration properties take effect immediately. Changes to other connector properties require connector component restart or system restart after a change. To determine whether a property is dynamic (taking effect immediately) or static (requiring either connector component restart or system restart), refer to the Update Method column in the Connector Properties window of the System Manager.
