Using the Properties Editor

You can modify the current adapter configuration properties from the Adapter Properties Editor.

To modify the adapter properties, perform the following:

1. Open the Properties Editor for the adapter you want to edit. An Adapter has two sets of parameters: those specific to that particular adapter (accessed from the Connectivity Map), and those that are common to all adapters of this type (accessed from the Environment Explorer tree).

2. From the upper-left pane of the Properties Editor, select a properties directory from the Configuration tree. The parameters contained in that directory are now displayed in the right pane of the Properties Editor. For example, from the outbound adapter Connectivity Map Properties, click on Transport to display this section’s editable parameters in the right pane.

3. Click on any property field to make it editable. For example, click on the Read From RA CFG File parameter to edit the Read From RA CFG File value. If a parameter’s value is true or false or multiple choice, the field, when selected, reveals a submenu of property options. If a parameter requires you to type in a value, such as a name or password, the property field provides space to type in the value and an ellipsis (. . .) button.

4. Click on the ellipsis (. . .) in the properties field to open a separate configuration dialog box. This is helpful for entering large values that cannot be fully displayed in the parameter’s property field.

5. Enter the property value in the dialog box and click OK. The value is now displayed in the property field.

   A description of each parameter is displayed in the Description pane when that parameter is selected, providing an explanation of any required settings or options.

6. The Comments pane provides an area for recording notes and information regarding the currently selected parameter. This is saved for future reference.

7. After modifying the configuration properties, click OK to close the Properties Editor and save the changes.
