Overview of configuration tasks

After installation and before startup, you must configure components as follows:

Configure the connector

This task includes setting up and configuring the connector. See Configuring the connector.

Configure business objects

The steps for configuring business objects depend on how you elect to implement the product suite:

You can create business objects manually using Business Object Designer or, depending on your data handler, an ODA, which automates the process of making business objects. For further information, see your data handler documentation.

Configure the data handler

You configure the data handler 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.

For further information on configuring the data handler, see Connector-specific configuration properties
