Saving your configuration file
When you have finished configuring your connector, you
save the connector configuration file. Connector Configurator will
save it in the broker mode that you selected during configuration.
The title bar of Connector Configurator always displays the broker
mode (ICS, WMQI or WAS) that it is currently using.
The file is saved as an XML document. You can save the XML document
in three ways:
For ICS:
- From System Manager, as a file with a *.con extension in a an ICS User Project, or
- In a directory that you specify.
- In stand-alone mode, as a file with a *.cfg extension in a directory folder, if you are using the file
as a local configuration file.
For WMQI:
- In stand-alone mode, as a file with a *.cfg extension in a directory folder.
For WAS:
- From System Manager, as a file with a *.con extension in a WAS User Project, or
- In a directory that you specify.
- In stand-alone mode, as a file with a *.cfg extension in a directory folder.
After you have created the configuration file and set its properties,
you need to deploy it to the correct location for your connector.
- If you are using ICS as your integration broker, save the configuration in
a System Manager project, and use System Manager to load the file
into ICS.
- If you are using WMQI as your integration broker, copy the configuration file
to the correct location, which must match exactly the configuration
file location specified in the startup file for your connector.
- If you are using WAS as your integration broker, save the file
in a WAS user project. Use File>Export to
create .wsdl files that you can then import into WSAD-IE.
You can also export the configuration file as a .jar file to a specified directory.
