IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter manual Specifying supported business object definitions

2.Enter a name or value.

3.To encrypt a property, click the Encrypt box.

4.Choose to save or discard changes, as described for Setting Standard Connector Properties.

The Update Method displayed for each property indicates whether a component or agent restart is necessary to activatechanged values.

Important: Changing a preset application-specific connector property name may cause a connector to fail. Certain property names may be needed by the connector to connect to an application or to run properly.

Encryption for connector properties

Application-specific properties can be encrypted by clicking the Encrypt check box in the Edit Property window. To decrypt a value, click to clear the Encrypt check box, enter the correct value in the Verification dialog box, and choose OK. If the entered value is correct, the value is decrypted and displays. The adapter guide for each connector contains a list and description of each property and its default value.

Update method

When WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker is the integration broker, connector properties are static. The Update Method is always Agent Restart. In other words, for changes to take effect, you must restart the connector agent after saving the revised connector configuration file.

Specifying supported business object definitions

The procedures in this section assume that you have already created:

vBusiness object definitions

vMQ message set files (*.set files)

The *.set files contain message set IDs that Connector Configurator requires for designating the connector’s supported business objects. See the Implementation Guide for WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for information about creating the MQ message set files.

Each time that you add business object definitions to the system, you must use Connector Configurator to designate those business objects as supported by the connector.

Important: If the connector requires meta-objects, you must create message set files for each of them and load them into Connector Configurator, in the same manner as for business objects.

To specify supported business objects:

1.Select the Supported Business Objects tab and choose Load. The Open Message Set ID File(s) dialog displays.

2.Navigate to the directory where you have placed the message set file for the connector and select the appropriate message set file (*.set) or files.

3.Choose Open. The Business Object Name field displays the business object names contained in the *.set file; the numeric message set ID for each business object is listed in its corresponding Message Set ID field. Do not change the message set IDs. These names and numeric IDs are saved when you save the configuration file.
