Installer adds an icon for the connector file to the WebSphere business integration
menu. For a fast way to start the connector, create a shortcut to this file on the
desktop.

Event and archive tables

The connector uses the event table to queue events for pickup. If you have set the
ArchiveProcessed property to true or to no value, the connector uses the archive
table to store events after updating their status in the event table.
For each event, the connector gets the business object's name, verb, and key from
the Event business component. The connector uses this information to retrieve the
entire entity from the application. If the entity was changed after the event was
first logged, the connector gets the initial event and all subsequent changes. In
other words, if an entity is created and updated before the connector gets it from
the event table, the connector gets both data changes in the single retrieval.
The following three outcomes are possible for each event processed by a connector:
v Event was processed successfully
v Event was not processed successfully
v Event was not subscribed to
If events are not deleted from the event table after the connector picks them up,
they occupy unnecessary space there. However, if they are deleted, all events that
are not processed are lost and you cannot audit the event processing. Therefore,
you should also create an archive table and keep the ArchiveProcessed property set
to true. Whenever an event is deleted from the event table, the connector inserts it
into the archive table.
Configuring event and archive processing
To configure event and archive processing, you must use configuration properties
to specify the following information:
