Occasionally, you will need to inspect and adapt your integration settings. Relevant changes in your IT landscape and work-flows may require new parameters. In this case, there's no need to start all over. Instead, you can compare an existing integration and change single parameters in its configuration with a few clicks.
In this chapter, we want to inspect and edit the Technology Catalog integration which we added in the previous chapter.
The Timeout should be adjusted on changes in networking virtualization , the length of network paths or computational/bandwidth traffic load on network nodes. The Maximum attempts parameter is relevant for platform server maintenance only. The update intervals define the responsiveness of integration data provision. Shorter interval length benefits you, but longer one overall service availability. The community aspect is relevant as well as the contribution quality. The Upload fingerprints parameter depends on management decisions (see the explanation on data sources).
