Configuring a connector to access Content Integrator repositories

The Content Integrator crawler uses content integration APIs to connect to the repositories to be crawled. By configuring a connector in IBM® Content Integrator, you enable the crawler server to access the content sources to be crawled.

Procedure

To configure a connector so that the crawler can access Content Integrator repositories:

  1. Confirm that the VBR_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables in the iice_install_root/bin/config.sh file (on AIX® or Linux®) or iice_install_root\bin\config.bat file (on Microsoft Windows) specify the correct directories.
  2. Start the Content Integrator administration console and configure a connector for the Watson Explorer Content Analytics crawler server.
    See the IBM Content Integrator documentation for instructions on how to create a connector.
