v To save the revised values, click File>Exit (or close the window) and click Yes when prompted to save changes. Alternatively, click Save>To File from either the File menu or the toolbar. Setting application-specific configuration properties For application-specific configuration properties, you can add or change property names, configure values, delete a property, and encrypt a property. The default property length is 255 characters. 1. Right-click in the top left portion of the grid. A pop-up menu bar will appear. Click Add to add a property. To add a child property, right-click on the parent row number and click Add child. 2. Enter a value for the property or child property. 3. To encrypt a property, select the Encrypt box. 4. Choose to save or discard changes, as described for "Setting standard connector properties" on page 127. The Update Method displayed for each property indicates whether a component or agent restart is necessary to activate changed 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 selecting 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 click OK. If the entered value is correct, the value is decrypted and displays. The adapter user guide for each connector contains a list and description of each property and its default value. If a property has multiple values, the Encrypt check box will appear for the first value of the property. When you select Encrypt, all values of the property will be encrypted. To decrypt multiple values of a property, click to clear the Encrypt check box for the first value of the property, and then enter the new value in the Verification dialog box. If the input value is a match, all multiple values will decrypt. Update method: Refer to the descriptions of update methods found in the Standard configuration properties for connectors appendix, under "Setting and updating property values" on page 133. Connector properties are almost all static and the Update Method is Component restart. For changes to take effect, you must restart the connector after saving the revised connector configuration file. Specifying supported business object definitions Use the Supported Business Objects tab in Connector Configurator Express to specify the business objects that the connector will use. You must specify both generic business objects and application-specific business objects, and you must specify associations for the maps between the business objects. For you to specify a supported business object, the business objects and their maps must exist in the system. Business object definitions, including those for data 128 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
