Starting Connector Configurator
You can start and run Connector Configurator in either
of two modes:
- Independently, in stand-alone mode
- From System Manager
Running Configurator in stand-alone mode
You can run Connector Configurator without running System
Manager and work with connector configuration files, irrespective
of your broker.
To do so:
- From Start>Programs, click IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters>IBM WebSphere Business Integration Toolset>Connector Configurator.
- Select File>New>Connector Configuration.
- When you click the pull-down menu next to System Connectivity Integration Broker,
you can select ICS, WebSphere Message Brokers or WAS, depending
on your broker.
You may choose to run Connector Configurator independently to
generate the file, and then connect to System Manager to save it
in a System Manager project (see Completing a configuration file.)
Running Configurator from System Manager
You can run Connector Configurator from System Manager.
To run Connector Configurator:
- Open the System Manager.
- In the System Manager window, expand the Integration Component Libraries icon
and highlight Connectors.
- From the System Manager menu bar, click Tools>Connector Configurator.
The Connector Configurator window opens and displays a New Connector dialog box.
- When you click the pull-down menu next to System Connectivity Integration Broker,
you can select ICS, WebSphere Message Brokers or WAS, depending
on your broker.
To edit an existing configuration file:
- In the System Manager window, select any of the configuration
files listed in the Connector folder and right-click on it. Connector
Configurator opens and displays the configuration file with the
integration broker type and file name at the top.
- From Connector Configurator, select File>Open.
Select the name of the connector configuration file from a project
or from the directory in which it is stored.
- Click the Standard Properties tab to see which properties are
included in this configuration file.
