4. To get more information on a particular property, left-click the entry in the
Description column for that property. If you have Extended Help installed, a
hot button will appear. When you click on the hot button, a Help window will
open and display details of the standard property.
Note: If the hot button does not appear, no Extended Help was found for that
property.
5. Choose to save or discard changes, as described for "Setting standard connector
properties" on page 28.
If the Extended Help files are installed and the AdapterHelpName property is
blank, Connector Configurator will point to the adapter-specific Extended Help
files located in <ProductDir>\bin\Data\App\Help\<RegionalSetting>\. Otherwise,
Connector Configurator will point to the adapter-specific Extended Help files
located in
<ProductDir>\bin\Data\App\Help\<AdapterHelpName>\<RegionalSetting>\. See
the AdapterHelpName property described in the Standard Properties appendix.
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 Connector-specific Properties 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 Properties
appendix.
Specifying supported business object definitions
Use the Supported Business Objects tab in Connector Configurator 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.
Note: Some connectors require that certain business objects be specified as
supported in order to perform event notification or additional configuration
