After installation, you must configure the connector before starting it. This section provides an overview of some of the configuration and startup tasks that most developers will need to perform.
See Installing and configuring the connector for a description of what and where you must install. When you install the adapter, the SQL Query Dispatcher is automatically installed.
Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties and connector-specific configuration properties. Some of these properties have default values that you do not need to change. You may need to set the values of some of these properties before running the connector.
You use Connector Configurator to configure connector properties:
You must configure the connector to operate with one of the following integration brokers:
When you configure connector properties for the adapter for QAD MFG/PRO, make sure that:
To configure the connector to send requests without notification (the default asynchronous mode, also known as "fire and forget"):
Install a database trigger for each MFG/PRO application that you want to configure for connector event processing. You install triggers using the DataSync module supplied by QAD. For further information, see QAD documentation (External Interface Guide -- Data Synchronization).
You use an XML object discovery agent (ODA) to create business objects. The six-step automated process is described in Creating or modifying business objects.
For information and procedures on downloading Qdoc schemas, see QAD MFG/PRO documentation.
To configure the data handler:
For more information on data handler processing, see MFG/PRO data handler.
For information on starting a connector, stopping a connector, and the connector's temporary startup log file, see the see the startup chapter in the System Installation Guide for your platform. See also the Implementation Guide for your integration broker. You must configure connector properties before startup. You must also modify the startup file:
