The connector component of the adapter has two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties, which apply to most adapters, and connector-specific configuration properties, which apply only to your adapter and provide a way for you to change static information or logic within the connector without having to recode and rebuild it. A connector obtains its configuration values at startup. You must set the values of these properties before running the connector.
To configure connector properties, use the Connector Configurator tool. Details are in Appendix B, Connector Configurator. This tool provides a graphical user interface for configuring the connector.
When you have finished specifying values for the connector's configuration properties, Connector Configurator saves the values in the adapter repository (for ICS) or generates a configuration file and places it in the adapter's local repository (for WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker and WebSphere Application Server).
In this section, the steps required to specify properties are described. The project name for the folder used in these procedures is Mro.
To specify properties, start the WebSphere Business Integration System Manager and do the following steps:
Accept the defaults for the remainder of the configuration for standard properties.
In the next few steps, you define the connector-specific properties for the transport.

Property / Parameter | Description | Value | Default value |
---|---|---|---|
hostname | The host name of the MQ queue manager. | localhost | |
port | The port of the queue manager listener. | 1414 | |
channel | The channel used for communications with the queue manager. | CHANNEL1 | |
queue | The name of the queue or the queue URI. | queue:///MROTESTOUT (sender) or queue:///MROTESTIN (receiver) | |
pollinterval | The interval
with which to check the queue for new messages (in milliseconds).
Receivers only |
10000 | |
locationOfObjectType | An XPath
statement describing the location of business object type within
the XML.
Receivers only |
//DATAAREA/* | |
qmanager | The name of the queue manager. | .queue.manager |
The adapter uses the XSLT logic module as the primary transformation mechanism for translating between the adapter's XML messages and the WBI XML. Translations between XML formats are direct, there is no chaining. To configure the logic module with properties other than the defaults, specify values for the properties listed in Table 5.

Property / Parameter | Description | Value | Default value |
---|---|---|---|
schemaConfig | Provides translation between application and integration broker data formats. | repository_dir\schemaTypes.xml | translations \schemaTypes.xml |
repository | The xslt subdirectory is specified as the root for name resolution within the repository, versus the top-level translations directory. | repository_dir\xslt | translations\xslt |
MRO | Used to configure routing path. | CW | |
CW | Used to configure routing path. | This value must match the routing paths. | MRO |
