Creating or editing an endpoint for MDM Connector activity
The InfoSphere® MDM and Cast Iron® Connector endpoint provides information that Cast Iron Studio and the Integration Appliance use to connect to the InfoSphere MDM instance. MDM provides various services that can process create, retrieve, update, and delete operations for your on-premises MDM run time.
About this task
Procedure
- In the Create Endpoint or Edit Endpoint pane, click Browse to open the Project Explorer.
- In the Project Explorer pane, select
one of the following options for your WSDL file.
- Select an existing WSDL file that is already uploaded into the project.
- Select a WSDL file from the file system. Click Add and then browse for the WSDL file. Click Add again.
- In Endpoint Connection Properties,
provide values for these InfoSphere MDM
run time connection properties.
Field name (Endpoint) Description Host Name Host name of the MDM run time system Port Port value of the WC_defaulthost or WC_defaulthost_secure in the MDM run time; based on http or https. User Name MDM server user name Password MDM server password Endpoint URL Endpoint URL of the Soap request. By default this field contains the correct value. In eSOA, you can change the endpoint URL. If you do change the eSOA endpoint URL, make sure that you update this field. - Specify the security options.
When client authentication is required, select Client Certificate Alias Name and specify that the Integration Appliance that is acting as a client must provide a certificate to the HTTP Server. If selected, the name of the certificate must be provided. A certificate that is specified at the activity level with this check box takes precedence over a certificate that is specified in Security > Certificates > Settings > Client SSL in the WMC.
Note: This version of InfoSphere MDM connector supports SSL_TLSv2 protocol version. - Provide values for these properties. Click Advanced
Properties.
Field name (Advanced Properties) Description Connection Pool Options Specify the maximum number of connections.
This value is the maximum number of connections that the Integration Appliance can open in the connection pool. Specifying 0 means that the number of connections is unlimited. By default, the Integration Appliance can have 25 connections open.
Connection Timeout Specify the amount of time, in seconds, before a timeout occurs between the Integration Appliance attempting to establish a connection to the Endpoint and the time it takes for the Endpoint to respond to the connection request. For a web services activity, enter the amount of time that the Integration Appliance attempts to establish a connection to the web service before timing out. A connection timeout is different from an activity timeout. An activity timeout occurs after the connection to the Endpoint is established. An activity timeout specifies the amount of time, in seconds, before a timeout occurs between the activity that starts a request on an Endpoint and the time it takes the Endpoint to respond.
Set the activity timeout in Retry task of the web services Invoke Service Activity.
XML Schema Resolver Determines the number of child levels that Cast Iron Studio allocates and displays for each XML schema (including WSDLs) in the opened project. For the details of each of the properties, see Other Preferences.
