Creating a new template This section describes how you create properties in the template, define general characteristics and values for those properties, and specify any dependencies between the properties. Then you save the template and use it as the base for creating a new connector configuration file. To create a template: 1. Click File>New>Connector-Specific Property Template. 2. The Connector-Specific Property Template dialog box appears, with the following fields: v Template, and Name Enter a unique name that identifies the connector, or type of connector, for which this template will be used. You will see this name again when you open the dialog box for creating a new configuration file from a template. v Old Template, and Select the Existing Template to Modify The names of all currently available templates are displayed in the Template Name display. v To see the connector-specific property definitions in any template, select that template's name in the Template Name display. A list of the property definitions contained in that template will appear in the Template Preview display. You can use an existing template whose property definitions are similar to those required by your connector as a starting point for your template. 3. Select a template from the Template Name display, enter that template name in the Find Name field (or highlight your selection in Template Name), and click Next. If you do not see any template that displays the connector-specific properties used by your connector, you will need to create one. Specifying general characteristics: When you click Next to select a template, the Properties - Connector-Specific Property Template dialog box appears. The dialog box has tabs for General characteristics of the defined properties and for Value restrictions. The General display has the following fields: v General: Property Type Updated Method Description v Flags Standard flags v Custom Flag Flag After you have made selections for the general characteristics of the property, click the Value tab. Specifying values: The Value tab enables you to set the maximum length, the maximum multiple values, a default value, or a value range for the property. It also allows editable values. To do so: 1. Click the Value tab. The display panel for Value replaces the display panel for General. 2. Select the name of the property in the Edit properties display. Chapter 7. Configuring connectors 123
