About the Integrator Gateway CommAdapter

The Integrator Gateway CommAdapter provides the services that enable Integrator to exchange messages with Gateway.

This CommAdapter uses a dedicated processing task on the Integrator Server which we create as part of the procedure. This configuration step is optional, but it is recommended because it improves the performance of the Gateway connector by reserving dedicated processes.

Prerequisites

The Integrator Axway Server object and CommNetwork must exist in Composer.

Procedure

  1. In the Composer Topography workbench, open the Integrator Axway Server object.
  2. On the Core Tasks tab of the Axway Server properties window, create a processing task dedicated to Gateway. This step is not mandatory, but it is recommended, since it enables you to have separate processes and improves the performance of the Gateway connector.
  3. On the Communication tab, right-click the CommNetwork and select add a CommAdapter. Select Gateway for the CommAdapter type.
  4. Complete the Configuration sub-tab:
    5. ClosedView fields
    Field Description
    User

    Enter a user name for Gateway access.

    Default = Admin
    Password

    Enter a password for Gateway access.

    Default = no password
    Port number Enter the port number for access to the directory that is shared between integrator and Gateway.
    Data exchange directory

    Enter the name and path of the directory shared by Integrator and Gateway.

    These must be the same values that you define for Shared directory in the Gateway configuration menu.

    Profile name

    Default = CSTCP

    The Profile name value identifies a single Gateway server instance for communication with Integrator. The Profile name attribute is deduced from the file:

    CORE_LOCALCORE_LOCAL is the path to the folder named ‘local’ which resides in your Integrator Server installation. /bin/csconfig.ini

    View Integrator file content

    In this file, by default the Gateway connection section holds the value CSTCP.

    To enable Integrator to communicate with more than one Gateway, you must create a Gateway connection section in the csconfig.ini for each Gateway instance.

    To do this, you open the file in a text editor and duplicate the entire CSTCP section, specifying a different name and new set of Gateway connection parameters.

    The name you give to this new section (replacing "CSFTP") must correspond to the name of the Gateway instance as it is specified in the Gateway configuration file:

    <Gateway install directory>/run_time/etc/csconfig.ini

    View Gateway file content

    After you modify the Integrator csconfig.ini file, the new Gateway name appears as a Profile name option in the Integrator Gateway CommAdapter configuration.
    Enable Select this option to enable the CommAdapter when it is sent to an execution server
  5. Accept the default values for the other parameters on the Advanced sub-tab.
  6. On the Task references sub-tab, select the processing task created in step 2.
  7. Check, save and close the Axway Server object.
  8. Send the Axway Server object to the execution server via the Send to Server command. The status of the Axway Server is set to Committed.
  9. Note: Since the Gateway CommAdapter is a client CommAdapter, there is no need to create a CommPoint.
