example, C:\WebSphereAdapters\repository. The value must be a directory path. Do not use <REMOTE> as the RepositoryDirectory value for a connector that is not using ICS as the broker.

RequestQueue

The queue that is used by the integration broker to send business objects to the connector.

The default value is CONNECTORNAME/REQUESTQUEUE.

ResponseQueue

Designates the JMS response queue, which delivers a response message from the connector framework to the integration broker.

RestartRetryCount

Specifies the number of times the connector attempts to restart itself. The default value is 3, indicating that the connector tries to restart 3 times. For instance, if a connector is unable to log in to an application it fails to start, but with this property set to the value 3 the connector tries a total of three times to start. When used in conjunction with the “RestartRetryInterval” property, this behavior enables a connector to make several attempts at communicating with an application that might not reliably have a connection available all the time.

RestartRetryInterval

Specifies the interval in minutes at which the connector attempts to restart itself. The default value is 1, indicating that the connector waits 1 minute in between its restart attempts.

SourceQueue

Designates the JMS source queue for the connector framework in support of guaranteed event delivery for JMS-enabled connectors that use a JMS event store. For further information, see “ContainerManagedEvents” on page 39.

The default is CONNECTORNAME/SOURCEQUEUE.

SynchronousRequestQueue

Delivers request messages that require a synchronous response from the connector framework to WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker. This queue is necessary only if the connector uses synchronous execution. With synchronous execution, the connector framework sends a message to the SynchronousRequestQueue and waits for a response back from WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker on the SynchronousResponseQueue. The response message sent to the connector bears a correlation ID that matches the ID of the original message.

SynchronousResponseQueue

Delivers response messages sent in reply to a synchronous request from WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker to the connector framework. This queue is necessary only if the connector uses synchronous execution.

SynchronousTimeout

Specifies the time in minutes that the connector waits for a response to a synchronous request. If the response is not received within the specified time then the connector moves the original synchronous request message into the fault queue along with an error message.

The default value is 0.
