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
InterChange Server.
- 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.
