Property

Description

ApplicationUserName

User name for the i2 connection

ApplicationPassword

Password for the i2 connection

CISAgentHostName

Used when the CIS agent is running on

 

a remote machine. If it is not set, the

 

current local host is assumed to have the

 

CIS agent running. If it is set, the i2

 

connector establishes a connection with

 

this remote host.

ExecutionTimeout

Time in milliseconds before the call

 

to i2 application terminates.

PollQuantity

Number of messages that will be

 

retrieved from the client queue; it will be

 

pollQuantity multiplied by the number

 

of registered operations.

UseDefaults

The connector checks for this value to

 

look for the default value of the

 

attributes during request processing.

 

This is not used by the i2 connector.

Possible values

Not used in this release Not used in this release String host name

Example: any machine name like California

Default is 30000

Default is 1

Not required for this connector

Configuring start_i2.bat (for Windows) or start_i2.sh (for UNIX)

You need to add the proper path to the start files for CIS-SDK and j2ee.jar.

Example: The following path information needs to be added to start_i2.bat file:

set I2_CIS_HOME_DIR=C:\i2\CIS\6.0\cis-sdk set J2EE_PATH=C:\J2EE_JAR

Note: These are just examples. You should change the path information depending on your local installation.

Configuring DataHandler

You also need to configure the data handler. Set the following values for the child business object text/xml in MO_DataHandler_Default:

Validation

false

 

 

ClassName

com.crossworlds.DataHandlers.text.xml

 

 

UseNewLine

false

 

 

InitialBufferSize

any appropriate value like 2097152

 

 

DummyKey

1

 

 

Note: The rest of the fields should be blank.
