Creating Connector Listeners
Keep the following points in mind before creating connector listeners.
The
CloudStreams provider package that supports streaming API connectivity has been installed.
A connection for the connector has been created and enabled in
Integration Server Administrator.
Note:
Information about connector listeners is also located in the Administering webMethods CloudStreams document, webMethods Deployer User’s Guide, and also in the documentation specific to your CloudStreams provider, for example, the webMethods CloudStreams Provider for Salesforce.com Installation and User's Guide.
You create a connector listener using Software AG Designer.
To create a connector listener
1. Open the Service Development perspective in Software AG Designer if it is not already open.
2. Navigate to and expand the package in which you want the connector listener to reside. Right-click the folder in which you want to create the listener and select New > Connector Listener.
Software AG Designer displays the New Connector Listener wizard.
3. On the Create a New Connector Listener page of the wizard, in the Element name field, type the name you want to assign to the connector listener. Click Next.
4. On the Select the Connector page of the wizard, select the CloudStreams Connector associated with the cloud application provider you want to access. Click Next.
Tip:
If the list of available connectors is long and you know the name of the connector you want to use, you can locate the connector quickly by typing its name in the box below Available Connectors. You can also use this technique when selecting the connection pool in the next steps.
5. On the Select the Connection Pool page of the wizard, select the connection pool for connecting to the cloud application provider.
6. Click Finish.
Software AG Designer creates the connector listener and displays the connector listener details in the connector listener editor.
