Overview

of
Connector
Configurator
Connector
Configurator
allows
you
to
configure
the
connector
component
of
your
adapter
for
use
with
these
integration
brokers:
v
WebSphere
InterChange
Server
(ICS)
v
WebSphere
MQ
Integrator,
WebSphere
MQ
Integrator
Broker,
and
WebSphere
Business
Integration
Message
Broker,
collectively
referred
to
as
the
WebSphere
Message
Brokers
(WMQI)
v
WebSphere
Application
Server
(WAS)
If
your
adapter
supports
DB2
Information
Integrator,
use
the
WMQI
options
and
the
DB2
II
standard
properties
(see
the
Notes
column
in
the
Standard
Properties
appendix.)
You
use
Connector
Configurator
to:
v
Create
a
connector-specific
property
template
for
configuring
your
connector.
v
Create
a
connector
configuration
file;
you
must
create
one
configuration
file
for
each
connector
you
install.
v
Set
properties
in
a
configuration
file.
You
may
need
to
modify
the
default
values
that
are
set
for
properties
in
the
connector
templates.
You
must
also
designate
supported
business
object
definitions
and,
with
ICS,
maps
for
use
with
collaborations
as
well
as
specify
messaging,
logging
and
tracing,
and
data
handler
parameters,
as
required.
The
mode
in
which
you
run
Connector
Configurator,
and
the
configuration
file
type
you
use,
may
differ
according
to
which
integration
broker
you
are
running.
For
example,
if
WMQI
is
your
broker,
you
run
Connector
Configurator
directly,
and
not
from
within
System
Manager
(see
“Running
Configurator
in
stand-alone
mode”
on
page
20).
