These
properties
determine
the
adapter
framework
and
the
agent
run-time
behavior.
This
section
describes
how
to
start
Connector
Configurator
and
describes
characteristics
common
to
all
properties.
For
information
on
configuration
properties
specific
to
a
connector,
see
its
adapter
user
guide.
Starting
Connector
Configurator
You
configure
connector
properties
from
Connector
Configurator,
which
you
access
from
System
Manager.
For
more
information
on
using
Connector
Configurator,
refer
to
the
sections
on
Connector
Configurator
in
this
guide.
Connector
Configurator
and
System
Manager
run
only
on
the
Windows
system.
If
you
are
running
the
connector
on
a
UNIX
system,
you
must
have
a
Windows
machine
with
these
tools
installed.
To
set
connector
properties
for
a
connector
that
runs
on
UNIX,
you
must
start
up
System
Manager
on
the
Windows
machine,
connect
to
the
UNIX
integration
broker,
and
bring
up
Connector
Configurator
for
the
connector.
Configuration
property
values
overview
The
connector
uses
the
following
order
to
determine
a
property’s
value:
1.
Default
2.
Repository
(valid
only
if
WebSphere
InterChange
Server
(ICS)
is
the
integration
broker)
3.
Local
configuration
file
4.
Command
line
The
default
length
of
a
property
field
is
255
characters.
There
is
no
limit
on
the
length
of
a
STRING
property
type.
The
length
of
an
INTEGER
type
is
determined
by
the
server
on
which
the
adapter
is
running.
A
connector
obtains
its
configuration
values
at
startup.
If
you
change
the
value
of
one
or
more
connector
properties
during
a
run-time
session,
the
property’s
update
method
determines
how
the
change
takes
effect.
The
update
characteristics
of
a
property,
that
is,
how
and
when
a
change
to
the
connector
properties
takes
effect,
depend
on
the
nature
of
the
property.
There
are
four
update
methods
for
standard
connector
properties:
v
Dynamic
The
new
value
takes
effect
immediately
after
the
change
is
saved
in
System
Manager.
However,
if
the
connector
is
in
stand-alone
mode
(independently
of
System
Manager),
for
example,
if
it
is
running
with
one
of
the
WebSphere
message
brokers,
you
can
change
properties
only
through
the
configuration
file.
In
this
case,
a
dynamic
update
is
not
possible.
v
Agent
restart
(ICS
only)
The
new
value
takes
effect
only
after
you
stop
and
restart
the
connector
agent.
v
Component
restart
The
new
value
takes
effect
only
after
the
connector
is
stopped
and
then
restarted
in
System
Manager.
You
do
not
need
to
stop
and
restart
the
agent
or
the
server
process.
