The Z39.50 Connector must be installed prior to configuring. For information on installing the Z39.50 Connector see Installing Metadata Explorer.
To configure ArcIMS with Z39.50, perform the following:
In a text editor, open z3950.properties.
<ArcIMS Installation Directory>\ArcIMS\Metadata\Z3950Connector\z3950.properties
If necessary, change the port number the Z39.50 Connector will use.
port=210
The default port number is 210 but it can be modified depending on your network configuration.
Edit defaultServiceName=MyMetadataService to match your Metadata Service name.
If you have not created your Metadata Service yet, accept the default value and edit the property as necessary at a later date.
See Creating and Using Metadata Services for details on creating the necessary Metadata Service.
The default connection type is HTTP. If utilizing TCP/IP connection protocols, proceed to Step 7 below.
connectionType=http
If browsing of the Metadata Service used in Step 3 is restricted by user name and password, set these values. The user name and password remain blank if browse access is unrestricted.
