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,
- Changes to some connector configuration properties, such as
AgentTraceLevel, are dynamic, taking effect immediately.
- Changes to other connector properties are static, requiring component
restart or system restart after a change.
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:
- Expand the User Projects folder.
- Expand the INDUS folder.
- Expand the Connectors folder.
- Double-click IndusConnector.
- Click the Standard Properties tab to add or modify
configuration properties.
- Specify the AgentTraceLevel for the adapter. Selecting the value
5 generates detailed trace level; zero (0)
generates no trace information.
- 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.
- Click the Connector-Specific Properties tab.
- 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.
- If you selected MQ as the delivery transport in step 7, you must specify the queue manager name:
- Click the Messaging tab.
- Specify the queue manager name in the Queue Manager
field. The default is
server.queue.manager.
- After making the changes, click
File->Save-> To Project.
- Exit the Connector Configurator.
