5.1 Configuring the Connector on the PTM Appliance

The administrator for the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Appliance can customize settings for the PlateSpin Migrate Connector instance on the Appliance. See Table 5-1 for information about modifying the default settings for the Connector instance on the PTM Appliance.

Table 5-1 Migrate Connector Configuration Checklist

Connector Configuration Tasks	Description
(Optional) Configure the Connector instance to work with a specific project instead of with all projects.	After you create a project, you can use its Project ID to configure a Connector instance to work with a specific project. See Configuring a Dedicated Project for a Connector in the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide.
(Optional, recommended) Create a special-purpose user for Migrate Connector.	The default instance of Migrate Connector on the PTM Appliance uses the credentials of the PTM System Administrator user to perform actions. We recommend that you create a unique user identity for the Connector instance instead. Having a unique Connector user for each Migrate Connector helps you more easily distinguish actions performed by the Connector instance in logs and transformation histories. To create a unique user account for the Connector instance, see Creating a User for Connector Login in the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide. To modify the username and password to use for the Connector, see Configuring the PTM User Credentials Used by a Connector in the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide.
(Optional) Customize the Connector logging settings.	See Setting the Logging Level for the Connector in the PTM 2019.5 Administrator Guide.
