Creating a new configuration file You create a connector configuration file from a connector-specific template or by modifying an existing configuration file. Creating a configuration file from a connector-specific template Once a connector-specific template has been created, you can use it to create a configuration file: 1. Click File>New>Connector Configuration. 2. The New Connector dialog box appears, with the following fields: v Name Enter the name of the connector. Names are case-sensitive. The name you enter must be unique, and must be consistent with the file name for a connector that is installed on the system. Important: Connector Configurator Express does not check the spelling of the name that you enter. You must ensure that the name is correct. v System Connectivity The default broker is ICS. You cannot change this value. v Select Connector-Specific Property Template Type the name of the template that has been designed for your connector. The available templates are shown in the Template Name display. When you select a name in the Template Name display, the Property Template Preview display shows the connector-specific properties that have been defined in that template. Select the template you want to use and click OK. 3. A configuration screen appears for the connector that you are configuring. The title bar shows the integration broker and connector names. You can fill in all the field values to complete the definition now, or you can save the file and complete the fields later. 4. To save the file, click File>Save>To File or File>Save>To Project. To save to a project, System Manager must be running. If you save as a file, the Save File Connector dialog box appears. Choose *.cfg as the file type, verify in the File Name field that the name is spelled correctly and has the correct case, navigate to the directory where you want to locate the file, and click Save. The status display in the message panel of Connector Configurator Express indicates that the configuration file was successfully created. Important: The directory path and name that you establish here must match the connector configuration file path and name that you supply in the startup file for the connector. 5. To complete the connector definition, enter values in the fields for each of the tabs of the Connector Configurator Express window, as described later in this chapter. Using an existing file To use an existing file to configure a connector, you must open the file in Connector Configurator Express, revise the configuration, and then save the file as a configuration file (*.cfg). You may have an existing file available in one or more of the following formats: Chapter 7. Configuring connectors 125
