ISO_8583 connections enable Integration Server to connect to the ISO_8583 back end at run time when using the ISO_8583 transport protocol. You create one or more connections at design time to use in integrations. The number of connections you create depends on your integration needs. You configure connections using Integration Server Administrator. You must have webMethods administrator privileges to access the administrative screens of Module for ISO_8583. For instructions on configuring, viewing, editing, enabling, and disabling ISO_8583 connections, see Configure TCP/IP client.

For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.

For a list of tasks that you must do before you can create your connections, see Preparing to Configure or Manage ISO_8583 Connections.
