Completing a configuration file

When you open a configuration file or a connector from a project, the Connector Configurator window displays the configuration screen, with the current attributes and values.

The title of the configuration screen displays the integration broker and connector name as specified in the file. Make sure you have the correct broker. If not, change the broker value before you configure the connector. To do so:

  1. Under the Standard Properties tab, select the value field for the BrokerType property. In the drop-down menu, select the value ICS, WMQI, or WAS.
  2. The Standard Properties tab will display the connector properties associated with the selected broker. The table shows Property name, Value, Type, Subtype (if the Type is a string), Description, and Update Method.
  3. You can save the file now or complete the remaining configuration fields, as described in "Specifying supported business object definitions"..
  4. When you have finished your configuration, click File>Save>To Project or File>Save>To File.

    If you are saving to file, select *.cfg as the extension, select the correct location for the file and click Save.

    If multiple connector configurations are open, click Save All to File to save all of the configurations to file, or click Save All to Project to save all connector configurations to a System Manager project.

    Before you created the configuration file, you used the Target System droplist that allows you to select the target operating system for extended validation of the properties.

    Before it saves the file, Connector Configurator checks that values have been set for all required standard properties. If a required standard property is missing a value, Connector Configurator displays a message that the validation failed. You must supply a value for the property in order to save the configuration file.

    If you have elected to use the extended validation feature by selecting a value of Windows, UNIX or Other from the Target System droplist, the system will validate the property subtype s well as the type, and it displays a warning message if the validation fails.
