For further information, see "Data handlers" on page 131. Setting the configuration file properties When you create and name a new connector configuration file, or when you open an existing connector configuration file, Connector Configurator Express displays a configuration screen with tabs for the categories of required configuration values. Standard properties differ from connector-specific properties as follows: v Standard properties of a connector are shared by both the application-specific component of a connector and its broker component. All connectors have the same set of standard properties. These properties are described in Appendix A of each adapter guide. You can change some but not all of these values. v Application-specific properties apply only to the application-specific component of a connector, that is, the component that interacts directly with the application. Each connector has application-specific properties that are unique to its application. Some of these properties provide default values and some do not; you can modify some of the default values. The installation and configuration chapters of each adapter guide describe the application-specific properties and the recommended values. The fields for Standard Properties and Connector-Specific Properties are color-coded to show which are configurable: v A field with a grey background indicates a standard property. You can change the value but cannot change the name or remove the property. v A field with a white background indicates an application-specific property. These properties vary according to the specific needs of the application or connector. You can change the value and delete these properties. v You can configure Value fields. v The Update Method displayed for each property indicates whether a component or agent restart is necessary to activate changed values. Setting standard connector properties To change the value of a standard property: 1. Click in the field whose value you want to set. 2. Either enter a value, or select one from the drop-down menu if it appears. 3. After entering all the values for the standard properties, you can do one of the following: v To discard the changes, preserve the original values, and exit Connector Configurator Express, click File>Exit (or close the window), and click No when prompted to save changes. v To enter values for other categories in Connector Configurator Express, select the tab for the category. The values you enter for Standard Properties (or any other category) are retained when you move to the next category. When you close the window, you are prompted to either save or discard the values that you entered in all the categories as a whole. Chapter 7. Configuring connectors 127
