Messaging and Communication Connection Profiles

The following topic describes the connection profile parameters for messaging and communication platforms and services.

Communication Suite Connection Profile Parameters

Before you can define a job, you must create a connection profile in the Configuration domain. A connection profile contains authorization credentials—such as the username, password, and other plug-in-specific parameters—and enables you to connect to the application server with only the connection profile name. To create a connection profile, see Creating a Centralized Connection Profile.

For more information about this plug-in, see Control-M Communication Suite.

The following table describes the Communication Suite connection profile parameters.
