appropriate type for your broker--either ICS or WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker
(for WMQI). If it does 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 WMQI or ICS.
2. The Standard Properties tab refreshes to display properties associated with the
selected broker. When you save the file, you retain this broker selection. You
can save the file now or proceed to complete the remaining configuration
fields, as described in “Setting the configuration file properties (WebSphere MQ
Integrator Broker)” on page 68.
3. When you have finished making entries in the configuration fields, choose
File>Save>To Project or File>Save>To File.
If you are saving to file, choose *.cfg as the extension, choose the correct
location for the file and choose Save.
If multiple connector configurations are open, choose Save All to File to save all
of the configurations to file, or choose Save All to Project to save all ICS
connector configurations to a System Manager project.
Before it saves the file, Connector Configurator validates 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.
Using an existing file
You may have an existing file available in one or more of the following formats:
v A connector definition file. This is a text file that lists properties and applicable
default values for a specific connector. Some connectors include such a file in a
\repository directory in their delivery package (the file typically has the
extension .txt; for example, CN_XML.txt for the XML connector).
v An ICS repository file. Definitions used in a previous ICS implementation of the
connector may be available to you in a repository file that was used in the
configuration of that connector. Such a file typically has the extension .in or
.out.
v A previous configuration file for the connector. Such a file typically has the
extension *.cfg.
Although any of these file sources may contain most or all of the connector-specific
properties for your connector, the connector configuration file will not be complete
until you have opened the file and set properties, as described later in this chapter.
To use an existing file to configure a connector, you must open the file in
Connector Configurator, revise the configuration, and then save the file as a
configuration file (*.cfg file).
Follow these steps to open a *.txt, *.cfg, or *.in file from a directory:
1. In Connector Configurator, choose File > Open > From File.
2. In the Open File Connector dialog, choose one of the following file types to see
the available files:
v Configuration (*.cfg)
v ICS Repository (*.in, *.out)
Choose this option if a repository file was used to configure the connector in
an ICS environment. A repository file may include multiple connector
definitions, all of which will display when you open the file.
