Connector configuration

Before a connector can be used, you must use the Connector Configurator to define a configuration file that contains:

There are two types of connector configuration properties, standard properties and application-specific properties.

Standard properties, which apply to all connectors, specify information such as:

Appendix C, Standard configuration properties for connectors lists the standard configuration properties for connectors working with WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker.

Application-specific properties specify values that a particular application-specific component needs to establish a session with the application. They also direct certain aspects of the application-specific components processing behavior. Here are examples of application-specific properties for various connectors:

Some connector configuration properties can also be set at the command line when you start up the connector. Properties set on the command line override the values set in the connector's configuration file.

For more information on configuring a connector, refer to Configuring the connector. To learn more about starting up a connector, see Starting a connector.
