IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter Installed file structure, Configuring the connector

vRun the Installer utility for IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters from the product CD and select the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for i2.

The utility allows you to browse and select the directory into which it will install the connector subdirectories and files. You must install to the %ProductDir% product directory that you used for your installation of the IBM WebSphere InterChange Server system. Use the browse button in the Installer to locate the directory and select it.

Result: The Installer utility copies the standard files into your system.

Tip: After you have installed your business integration system, you can install additional connectors from the product CD-ROM at any time. To do this, insert the product CD-ROM, run the installation program, and choose the connectors that you want to install.

Installed file structure

The following table describes the file structure used by the connector and shows the files that are automatically installed with Installer.

Notes:

1.This document uses (\) backslashes as the convention for directory paths. For UNIX installations, substitute slashes (/) for backslashes.

2.All product path names are relative to the directory where the product is installed on your system.

3.For Windows, Installer adds an icon for the connector file to the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters menu. For a fast way to start the connector, create a shortcut to this file on the desktop.

Subdirectory of %ProductDir%	Description

	has the connector code and the start_i2.bat files (WIN) or

Configuring the connector

Connectors have two types of configuration properties: standard configuration properties and connector-specific configuration properties. You must set the values of these properties before running the connector. As you enter the configuration values, they are saved in the repository.

To configure connector properties, use one of the following tools:
