SynchronousRequestTimeout

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.

TraceFileName

The name of the file where the application-specific component writes trace messages. Specify the filename in an absolute path. The default is STDOUT.

WireFormat

Message format on the transport.

Possible values are:

vCwXMLif the broker is not ICS.

vCwBOif the value of RepositoryDirectory is <REMOTE>.

Configuring standard connector properties for WebSphere MQ Integrator

This section describes standard configuration properties applicable to adapters whose integration broker is WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker. For information on using WebSphere Integrator Broker, see the Implementation Guide for WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker.

Important: Not all properties are applicable to all connectors that use WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker. For information specific to a connector, see its adapter user guide.

You configure connector properties from Connector Configurator.

Note: Connector Configurator runs only on the Windows system. Even if you are running the connector on a UNIX system, you must still have a Windows machine with this tool installed. Therefore, to set connector properties for a connector that runs on UNIX, you must run Connector Configurator on the Windows computer and copy the configuration files to the UNIX computer using FTP or some other file transfer mechanism. For more information about Connector Configurator, see Appendix B, Connector Configurator.

A connector obtains its configuration values at startup. If you change the value of one or more connector properties during a runtime session, you must restart the connector. Standard configuration properties provide information that is used by the adapter framework and connector framework, and is common to all connectors.
