9. Copy the message resource file, RMConnectorMessages.txt, into this

directory. It is in the Additional Materials in the RM folder.

23.3 Creating the WebSphere MQ objects

Using your favorite queue tool, you can create the required queues that are

shown in Table 23-3 on page 403.

23.4 Preparing the connector’s directory

The connector directory contains the run-time files for the connector. To prepare

the connector directory:

1. We have previously created a connector directory for the new connector

under the connectors subdirectory of the product directory,

ProductDir\connectors\connName.

By convention, this directory name matches the connector name connName.

The connector name is a string that uniquely identifies the connector.

2. Move the connector’s library file to this connector directory.

A Java connector’s library file is a Java archive (jar) file. We created this jar

file when we compiled the connector. (Our jar file is RMAdapter.jar.)

Note: It is worth noticing here the difference between some of the different

names. The connName in our case is RM. However, the connector definition

name is RMConnector, which is the same as the ApplicationName property in

the connector configuration.
