You can assign a Migrate Connector to the PlateSpin Transformation Manager server, or to a specific project.
The PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance includes an instance of the PlateSpin Migrate Connector that is automatically installed and configured to work with the Transformation Manager server on the Appliance. It works with all projects by default. After you set up projects in Transformation Manager, you can add a ptm_project_id to the /opt/microfocus/migrate_connector/config/settings.cfg file on the Appliance to assign the Connector instance to a specific project.
You must manually configure each PlateSpin Migrate Connector instance that you deploy on your own SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. SP4 server.
To configure the Connector instance for a PTM server or for a specific project:
Log in to the SLES 11 SP4 server with a root user account.
In a text editor, open the /opt/microfocus/migrate_connector/config/settings.cfg file.
Configure the values in the top section called [PlateSpin Transformation Manager Server].
