Configuration functions

Configuration using the Management Console covers the following activities:

• configuring the BeanConnect proxies

• configuring the EIS partners

You can also use the Management Console command line interface to run Management Console configuration functions via a script. You can find more detailed information in Command Line Interface of the BeanConnect Management Console (MC-CLI) .

Configuring the BeanConnect proxies

When you configure a proxy, the following activities can be initiated from the Management Console GUI:

1. define and modify the configuration

2. save the configuration

3. shut down the proxy

4. update the configuration of the proxy

5. start the proxy

If you want to integrate an EIS partner in the Management Console or if you want to modify or remove an EIS partner, you must perform the above steps in the specified order. If you want to generate, modify or delete an outbound communication endpoint or an inbound message endpoint, you can update the configuration while the proxy is running. In this case, only steps 1 and 2 have to be performed. You then have to restart the proxy.

When you configure a proxy, the Management Console assists you by displaying todo topics (see Todo topics ).

Further details on proxy configuration can be found in section Configuring the BeanConnect proxy .

Configuring the EIS partners

The Management Console allows you to create configuration fragments for the generated EIS partners. These configuration fragments are created and saved in files when the BeanConnect proxy configuration is saved. However, it is your responsibility to perform the following tasks:

• Transfer the generated files containing the configuration statements for the EIS partner applications to the host on which the EIS partner is running.

• Integrate these files into the EIS partner's configuration.

You will find further details in Adapting the configuration in the EIS partner .
