You may have an existing file available in one or more of the following formats:
This is a text file that lists properties and applicable default values for a specific connector. Some connectors include such a file in a \repository directory in their delivery package (the file typically has the extension .txt; for example, CN_XML.txt for the XML connector).
Definitions used in a previous InterChange Server Express implementation of the connector may be available to you in a repository file that was used in the configuration of that connector. Such a file typically has the extension .in or .out.
Such a file typically has the extension *.cfg.
Although any of these file sources may contain most or all of the connector-specific properties for your connector, the connector configuration file will not be complete until you have opened the file and set properties, as described later in this chapter.
To use an existing file to configure a connector, you must open the file in Connector Configurator Express, revise the configuration, and then resave the file.
Follow these steps to open a *.txt, *.cfg, or *.in file from a directory:
Choose this option if a repository file was used to configure the connector in an InterChange Server Express environment. A repository file may include multiple connector definitions, all of which will appear when you open the file.
Choose this option if a *.txt file was delivered in the adapter package for the connector, or if a definition file is available under another extension.
Follow these steps to open a connector configuration from a System Manager project:
