Using custom commands and keywords

You can add custom commands and keywords in order to use StreamServer functionality that cannot be configured via the standard Design Center GUI properties. You can add custom commands and keywords to the following Platform and Runtime configuration objects:

•

Platform

•	Connectors (Platform)

•	Queues (Platform)

•	Output connectors (Runtime configuration)

•	Events and Processes (Runtime configuration)

Where to configure custom commands and keywords

You configure custom commands and keywords in the Edit Custom fields dialog box (Edit > Custom Settings). You specify which access point (Platform, connector, queue, etc.) to configure, and then you enter the custom commands and keywords on the Custom sheet.

The Edit Custom fields dialog box.

Access points browser

The Access points browser contains all configurable objects (connector, Message, etc.). Each object is divided into one node for the generic (Logical in the GUI) layer, and one node for each physical layer (Development, Test, etc.). This means you can create different commands and keywords for each layer.

To add custom commands and keywords

1	Select Edit > Custom Settings. The Edit custom fields dialog box opens.

2	In the Access points browser, browse to and select the node you want to configure.

3	Enter your commands on the Custom sheet and click OK.
