About this task
Connectors can be used in
IBM Integration Bus to interact with applications or data sources. A connector developer creates connector resources for the runtime environment and a user-defined node for the
IBM Integration Toolkit. The connector developer provides this user-defined node in a plug-in JAR file. You can develop message flows by using the user-defined node in the same way as the built-in nodes.
To install the user-defined node into your IBM Integration Toolkit, complete the following steps.
Results
The user-defined node for your connector is displayed in the palette in the Message Flow editor. If the connector developer specified a category in the user-defined node project, the user-defined node is displayed beneath that category.
