Configuring the adapter at the server

The connector component of the adapter has several types of configuration properties from which you can select. You must set the values of these properties before running the connector.

To configure the various properties, you use the Connector Configurator tool. Details are in Appendix B, Connector Configurator. This tool provides a graphical user interface for configuring the connector. Appendix C, The IndusConnect Framework Configuration file is the default configuration file provided with the adapter. When you have finished specifying values for the connector's configuration properties, the Connector Configurator saves the values in the adapter file system (for ICS) or generates a configuration file and places it in the adapter's local repository (for WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker).

A connector obtains its configuration values at startup. During a run-time session, you might want to change the values of one or more connector properties. For example,

To determine whether a property is dynamic or static, refer to the Update Method column in Connector Configurator.

Specifying properties

To do these steps, start the WebSphere Business Integration System Manager. Then do the following steps:

  1. Expand the User Projects folder.
  2. Expand the INDUS folder.
  3. Expand the Connectors folder.
  4. Double-click IndusConnector.
  5. Click the Standard Properties tab to add or modify configuration properties.
  6. Specify the AgentTraceLevel for the adapter. Selecting the value 5 generates detailed trace level; zero (0) generates no trace information.
  7. Your application information should inform you which of the following transports to select for the DeliveryTransport property.
    MQ
    IDL (the default transport method)
    JMS

    Accept the defaults for the remainder of the configuration for standard properties.

  8. Click the Connector-Specific Properties tab.
  9. For the filename property, set the full path name to the indus_conf.xml configuration file in the Value field. For example, ICSdir\connectors\Indus\conf\indus_conf.xml.
  10. If you selected MQ as the delivery transport in step 7, you must specify the queue manager name:
    1. Click the Messaging tab.
    2. Specify the queue manager name in the Queue Manager field. The default is server.queue.manager.
  11. After making the changes, click File->Save-> To Project.
  12. Exit the Connector Configurator.
