IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Network Card User Manual


 
v All files (*.*)
Choose this option if a *.txt file was delivered in the adapter package for
the connector, or if a definition file is available under another extension.
3. In the directory display, navigate to the appropriate connector definition file,
select it, and choose Open.
Using an existing System Manager project
Follow these steps to open a connector configuration from a System Manager
project:
1. Start System Manager. A configuration can be opened from or saved to System
Manager only if System Manager has been started.
2. Start Connector Configurator.
3. Choose File > Open > From Project.
Setting the configuration file properties (ICS)
The topics in this section apply if you are using InterChange Server as the
integration broker. If you are using WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker as the
integration broker, see “Setting the configuration file properties (WebSphere MQ
Integrator Broker)” on page 68. When you create and name a new connector
configuration file, or when you open an existing connector configuration file,
Connector Configurator displays a configuration screen with tabs for the categories
of required configuration values.
Connector Configurator requires values for properties in all of these categories:
1. Standard Properties
2. Connector-Specific Properties
3. Supported Business Objects
4. Associated Maps
5. Resources
6. Trace/Log File values
7. Messaging (where applicable)
8. Data handlers (applicable for connectors that use JMS messaging with
guaranteed event delivery)
Note: For connectors that use JMS messaging, an additional category may display,
for configuration of data handlers that convert the data to business objects.
Important: Connector Configurator accepts property values in either English or
non-English character sets. However, the names of both standard and
connector-specific properties, and the names of supported business
objects, must use the English character set only.
Standard properties differ from connector-specific properties as follows:
v Standard properties of a connector are shared by both the application-specific
component of a connector and its broker component. All connectors have the
same set of standard properties. These properties are described in Appendix A of
each adapter guide. You can change some but not all of these values.
v Application-configuration (application-specific) properties apply only to the
application-specific component of a connector, that is, the component that
interacts directly with the application. Each connector has application-specific
properties that are unique to its application. Some of these properties provide
