Adding a New Component Type using Integration Console

This page appears when you click on the Add New Component Type button in the INTEGRATION CONSOLE - COMPONENT page.

In this page, specify the following details for the component type that is to be added:

  • Specify The name of the new component-type in the Component type text box, suffixed by _ex. For example, Tuxedo_Domain_Server_ex.

  • Note:

    Ensure that the Component type always ends with "_ex". Otherwise, users will not be permitted to add the new component type.

  • From the Choose display image list, select the image that you want to use to represent the new component-'type in the eG user interface.

  • If the component-type is port-based, then, specify the port number at which the component listens by default, in the PORT text box. In the case of our example, leave the port as NULL.

  • Using the Site support flag, indicate whether/not the component-type supports web sites. If so, set this flag to Yes. If not, set this flag to No. In the case of our example, set this flag as No.

  • By default, the Dupilcate flag will appear only if one/more user-defined components pre-exist. You can set this flag to Yes if you want the new component-type to inherit the properties of an existing user-defined component-type. In this case, you will be additionally required to pick the component type from the Component Type to be duplicated list.

    Once a component type to be duplicated is chosen, the Display image, Port, and Site support settings of that component-type will automatically apply to the component-type being added.

    On the other hand, if the new component-type is not a duplicate of an existing user-defined component-type, set this flag to No. In this case, you will have to explicitly define a display image, port, and site support settings for the new component-type.

  • Clicking the Add button will add the new component type to eG Enterprise.

The Back button enables the administrator to go back to the INTEGRATION CONSOLE - COMPONENT page.
