Run the Connector
After you have collected the required files and configured the connector, you can run the connector by starting connectorLibJava.exe
.
View Log Messages
Any log messages produced by your connector implementation appear in the appropriate log file. For example, in the HelloWorld connector introduced in Implement a New Connector, a message is logged by the synchronize
action. The default configuration schedules a single synchronize task called MYTASK1, so when you run the connector the following message is logged to logs\synchronize.log
:
30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello World
Set Custom Configuration Parameters
The connector automatically reads configuration parameters from the appropriate location. If you are using the example HelloWorld connector from Implement a New Connector, you can modify the Target
parameter in the configuration file. For example:
[MyTask1] Target=Earth
When you run the connector again, the following message is logged:
30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello Earth
When you start the synchronize
action using an ACI command, you can override the values of configuration parameters. This is handled automatically by ConnectorLib Java, so if you use the following action:
http://localhost:1234/action=fetch&fetchaction=synchronize&Target=Everybody
...the following message is logged:
30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello Everybody
