Overview of Connector Configurator

Connector Configurator allows you to configure the connector component of your
adapter for use with these integration brokers:
v WebSphere InterChange Server (ICS)
v WebSphere MQ Integrator, WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, and WebSphere
v WebSphere Application Server (WAS)
If your adapter supports DB2 Information Integrator, use the WMQI options and
the DB2 II standard properties (see the Notes column in the Standard Properties
appendix.)
You use Connector Configurator to:
v Create a connector-specific property template for configuring your connector.
v Create a connector configuration file; you must create one configuration file for
v Set properties in a configuration file.
The mode in which you run Connector Configurator, and the configuration file
type you use, may differ according to which integration broker you are running.
For example, if WMQI is your broker, you run Connector Configurator directly,
and not from within System Manager (see "Running Configurator in stand-alone
mode" on page 20).

Message Brokers (WMQI)
each connector you install.
You may need to modify the default values that are set for properties in the
connector templates. You must also designate supported business object
definitions and, with ICS, maps for use with collaborations as well as specify
messaging, logging and tracing, and data handler parameters, as required.
