For example, to add the locale en_GB to the list of values for the Locale property, open the stdConnProps.xml file and add the line in boldface type below:

<Property name="Locale" isRequired="true" updateMethod="component restart"> <ValidType>String</ValidType>

<ValidValues> <Value>ja_JP</Value> <Value>ko_KR</Value> <Value>zh_CN</Value> <Value>zh_TW</Value> <Value>fr_FR</Value> <Value>de_DE</Value> <Value>it_IT</Value> <Value>es_ES</Value> <Value>pt_BR</Value> <Value>en_US</Value>

<Value>en_GB</Value>

<DefaultValue>en_US</DefaultValue> </ValidValues>

</Property>

Starting Connector Configurator

Connector Configurator can be started and run in either of two modes:

vLaunched from System Manager

vIndependent of System Manager (stand-alone mode)

Running Configurator from System Manager

When you run Connector Configurator in conjunction with System Manager, you can

vSave connector configuration files (XML documents with the extension *.cfg) to a directory that you specify, and

vSave connector configuration files as components of System Manager projects. If you are using ICS as your broker, this is a mandatory step before you deploy your configuration into the ICS.

Note: When you save a configuration file as a component of a System Manager project, the file is stored in the designated project as an XML document file with the extension *.con. It is not advisable to open the *.con file and edit it directly; instead, make any changes by opening the component in System Manager.

To run Connector Configurator with System Manager, do any of the following:

vIn System Manager, right-click on the Connector folder of the Integration Components Library (to create a new configuration), or right-click on a connector configuration component within the Connector folder (to edit an existing configuration), or

vFrom the System Manager menu, choose Tools>Connector Configurator, or

vWith System Manager already running, from Start>Programs choose IBM WebSphere InterChange Server>IBM WebSphere Business Integration Toolset>Development>Connector Configurator.

For details about using projects in System Manager and deploying to InterChange Server, see the Implementation Guide for WebSphere InterChange Server.
