Updating the Connector Configuration Properties File
Each Connector is installed with a set of standard credentials some of which can be overridden to meet customers needs. Within the attached Connector-config credentials template you can override the default values to meet your requirements.
| Properties Name | Purpose | Default |
| data_file_dir | Specify which director the output spreadsheets from the Connector will be stored to | <installtion-dir>/ConnectorData/ |
| data_file_retention_period | The number of days that output spreadsheets will be kept before deletion | 28 days |
| connector_timezone | The timezone to be used if the connector is required to run for another timezone | defaults to system timezone |
| job_max_retries | The maximum number of retries on a Connector job will be attempted if a connector job has been unable to run (i.e unable to establish a connection to the source system) | 5 |
| job_repeat_interval | The time (in seconds) between retries being attempted | 120 seconds |
| http_proxy_host | The hostname/ip address of the Http/Https Proxy | There is no default value for this property |
| https_proxy_port | The port of the Http/Https Proxy | There is no default value for this property |
| https_read_timeout | the number of milliseconds before a read request times out for Http/Https connections | 30,000 milliseconds |
| http_connection_timeout | the number of milliseconds before a connection request times out for Http/Https connections | 30,000 milliseconds |

Changes to the credentials file must be imported into the Connector on the Manage Credentials screen and will need an Administrative account in order to perform this action. As soon as the properties file is uploaded it become active for use in the Connector, with the exception that if there is a change to the connector_timezone a restart of the Window Service is required after the upload.
