AdminInQueue

The queue that is used by the integration broker to send administrative messages to the connector.

The default value is CONNECTORNAME/ADMININQUEUE.

AdminOutQueue

The queue that is used by the connector to send administrative messages to the integration broker.

AgentTraceLevel

Level of trace messages for the connector’s application-specific component. The default is 0. The connector delivers all trace messages applicable at the tracing level set or lower.

ApplicationName

Name that uniquely identifies the connection to the application. This name is used by the system administrator to monitor the connector’s environment. When you create a new connector definition, this property defaults to the name of the connector; when you work with the definition for an IBM WebSphere-delivered connector, the property is also likely to be set to the name of the connector. Set the property to a value that suggests the program with which the connector is interfacing, such as the name of an application, or something that identifies a file system or website in the case of technology connectors.

BrokerType

This property is set to the value WMQI for connectors that are configured to use WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker as the integration broker.

CharacterEncoding

Specifies the character code set used to map from a character (such as a letter of the alphabet, a numeric representation, or a punctuation mark) to a numeric value.

Note: Java-based connectors do not use this property. A C++ connector currently uses the value ASCII for this property. If you previously configured the value of this property to ascii7 or ascii8, you must reconfigure the connector to use either ASCII or one of the other supported values. To determine whether a specific connector is written in Java or C++, see the installing and configuring chapter of its adapter guide.

Important: By default only a subset of supported character encodings display in the drop list. To add other supported values to the drop list, you must
