Using the Universal Connector › Configure the Universal Connector

Configure the Universal Connector

When you install the Universal connector, it is automatically enabled with default settings. You can change the default settings and controls.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Dashboard, select the Administration tab, and select the Connector Configuration option.
2. Select the Universal connector in the Connector column.

   The Universal connector details page opens and displays a number of tables with more details about the connector and the server where it is installed.

3. (Optional) Change any of the connector controls in the Connector Controls table and click Save.
4. Click any of the following Value fields in the Connector Details table and click Save:

   host

   Indicates the host name for the Tomcat application server where the web service is running.

   port

   Indicates the port number for the Tomcat application server where the web service is running.

   poll interval

   Specifies the number of seconds to wait between polling for events.

5. Click Stop and wait until the connector status changes to Offline.
6. Click Start and wait until the connector status changes to Online.

   Note: It may take a few minutes before the connector status displays Online.

Important! Do not perform rapid start and stop operations on the connector. Each stop and start sends the corresponding command to the connector. Rapid start and stop operations from the interface can cause these commands to queue on the connector and cause the connector to start and stop until all commands in the queue are processed.
