(Deprecated) Selector editor

The selector editor is a graphical editor that you use to visually choose and schedule the processing of components within IBM Integration Designer.

The selector editor is divided into several distinct areas, each with its own individual use.

The areas are as follows:

  1. The interface area

    • This area displays the operations and interfaces that you can choose from.

    • To add a new interface, click the icon, or to remove one, highlight it and click the icon.

  2. The scheduled component area

    • This area displays the possible components that the operation can be routed to. This includes all of the components in the same module that implements the same interface, as well as all the imports in the same module that implement the same interface. You can visually select your date and times using the interactive calendar, or create your own customized date-based selection algorithm in the Selection criteria field.

    • To create a new destination, click the icon, or to remove one, highlight it and click the icon.

  3. The properties area

    • This area displays properties that are relevant to the object that is currently selected in the editor. Click the tabs to the left of this view to toggle through the pages. Some pages display properties in tabular format, and you can add or modify these properties by clicking the appropriate cell and then interacting with the graphical interface that appears.

    • The contents of the page will differ on the activity or object chosen. In all cases, you can press F1 to launch a help window and click the link to be taken directly to the product documentation for more details.
