During this phase, you add general information about your
connector, such as name, version and description into the Connector
Information window and add the WSDL or schema file that is used for
your connector activity.
About this task
The Connector Information window is where you enter basic
details about your connector project. The Connector Information window
looks like:
Figure 1. Connector Information window
Procedure
- In the Name text field, enter a name for your connector.
Note: Due to the practical restrictions of NCName, characters
in the Name text field cannot contain symbol characters such as :,
@, $, %, &, /, +, ,, ;, whitespace characters or different parenthesis.
Additionally, characters in the Name text field cannot begin with
a number, dot or minus character although they can appear later in
an NCName.
- In the Description text field, enter a description for
your connector.
- In the Version text field, enter a version number for your
connector.
- To add a WSDL or a schema file, click on the Browse button
and navigate to the file you want. The selected file
displays in the Add WSDL/Schema Files field.
Note: If your input activity
will be discovered dynamically at design time, you must provide a
WSDL or schema containing an abstract type for this step. For information
on abstract files, see
Using the Add Activities window.
- Click Next.
Results
The Add Connection Fields window is displayed.
What to do next
In the next phase, you work with the Add Connection Fields
window to specify endpoint connection properties.
