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
default values and some do not; you can modify some of the default values. The
installation and configuration chapter of each adapter guide describes the
application-specific properties and the recommended values.
The fields for Standard Properties and Connector-Specific Properties are
color-coded to show which are configurable:
v A field with a grey background indicates a standard property. You can change
the value but cannot change the name or remove the property.
v A field with a white background indicates an application-specific property. These
properties vary according to specific needs of the application or connector. You
can change the value and delete these properties.
v Value fields are configurable.
v The Update Method field is informational and not configurable. This field
specifies the action required to activate a property whose value has changed.
Setting standard connector properties
To change the value of a standard property:
1. Click in the field whose value you want to set.
2. Either enter a value, or choose from the drop-down menu if one appears.
3. After entering all values for the standard properties, you can do one of the
following:
v To discard the changes, preserve the original values, and exit Connector
Configurator, choose File > Exit (or close the window), and choose No when
prompted to save changes.
v To enter values for other categories in Connector Configurator, choose the tab
for the category. The values you enter for Standard Properties (or other
category) are retained when you move to the next category; when you close
the window, you are prompted to either save or discard the values that you
entered in all of the categories as a whole.
v To save the revised values, choose File > Exit (or close the window) and
choose Yes when prompted to save changes. Alternatively, choose Save > To
File from either the File menu or the toolbar.
Setting application-configuration properties
For application-specific configuration properties, you can add or change property
names, configure values, delete a property, and encrypt a property:
1. Click in the field whose name or value you want to set.
