The following are the configurable variables used in the plug-in selection:

The ConnectorRole used can be configured using a rulebase pointed to by the Configurator > Connector > Connector Role Rulebase option.

The receiver organization is usually the marketplace or the trading partner who is to receive the message.

The ConnectorRole used can be configured using the rulebase pointed to by the Configurator > Connector > Connector Role Rulebase option.
