Attention:

vWebSphere MQ Integrator supports only one locale at a time. Ensure that every component of the installation (for example, all adapters, applications, and the integration broker itself) is set to the same locale.

vIf the connector has not been internationalized, the only valid value for this property is en_US. Do not run a non-internationalized C++ connector against InterChange Server version 4.1.1 if you cannot guarantee that only ISO Latin-1 data will be processed. To determine whether a specific connector has been internationalized, see the installing and configuring chapter of its connector guide.

MessageFileName

The name of the connector message file. The standard location for the message file is \connectors\messages. Specify the message filename in an absolute path if the message file is not located in the standard location. This property defaults to the value InterchangeSystem.txt for new connector definitions and should be changed to the name of the message file for the specific connector.

PollEndTime

Time to stop polling the event queue. The format is HH:MM, where HH represents 0-23 hours, and MM represents 0-59 seconds.

You must provide a valid value for this property. The default value is HH:MM, but must be changed.

PollFrequency

The amount of time between polling actions. Set the PollFrequency to one of the following values:

vThe number of milliseconds between polling actions.

vThe word key, which causes the connector to poll only when you type the letter p in the connector’s Command Prompt window. Enter the word in lowercase.

vThe word no, which causes the connector not to poll. Enter the word in lowercase.

The default is 10000.

Important: Some connectors have restrictions on the use of this property. To determine whether a specific connector does, see the installing and configuring chapter of its adapter guide.

PollStartTime

The time to start polling the event queue. The format is HH:MM, where HH represents 0-23 hours, and MM represents 0-59 seconds.

You must provide a valid value for this property. The default value is HH:MM, but must be changed.

RepositoryDirectory

The path and name of the directory from which the connector reads the XML schema documents that store the meta-data of business object definitions.

The default value is C:\crossworlds\repository. You must change this to the directory path that you are using for the \repository directory for your connector. Typically that path is established when you install the adapter product; for
