Connection Parameters

Before creating a QuickBooks V2 connection, you can modify the connection parameters in the

connectionparameters.ini

file.

You can modify the

connectionparameters.ini

file in the following locations:

<Secure Agent installation directory>\downloads\<latest connector zip package>\package\plugins\<Plugin ID>

<Secure Agent installation directory>\downloads\<latest connector zip package>\package\rdtm\javalib\<Plugin ID>

Modify the connection parameters at one file location, and copy the modified file to other location.

The following table describes the parameters in the

connectionparameters.ini

file:

Parameters	Description
ApplicationId	Enter the assigned application ID by Intuit. You have to register the application with QuickBooks to obtain the Application ID.
ApplicationName	Enter the application name. QuickBooks displays the name and prompts the user to grant or refuse access to the application.
CompanyFile	Enter the company file name. Do not set CompanyFile when QuickBooks is open. It is mandatory to assign the CompanyFile property in Remote Connector if QuickBooks is connected through Remote connector.

DelayAfterClose	Enter the delay in milliseconds, to be applied each time a connection to QuickBooks is closed. When you get internal errors, setting this delay to a positive value may solve the problem.
FirewallPassword	Enter the password, if authentication is required to connect through firewall. When Firewall Server is specified, it is mandatory to specify the Firewall User and Firewall Password to authenticate the firewall.
FirewallPort	Enter the TCP port for the firewall port server. Example, FirewallPort : 400. QuickBooks connector sets the Firewall Port to default port associated with the specified Firewall Type.
FirewallServer	Enter the Firewall server IP address to authenticate connection. When Firewall server is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated and the name is translated to the corresponding IP address.
FirewallType	Enter the type of firewall required for connection. For more information, see Firewall Types.
FirewallUser	Enter the Firewall user name. When Firewall Server is specified, it is mandatory to specify the Firewall User and Firewall Password properties to authenticate the firewall.
IncludeLineItems	Select True to request Line Item responses. Default is False. You can select whether to request Line Item responses or not, when retrieving base transaction, such as Invoices. Setting this value to false will typically result in better performance.

ProxyPort	Enter the TCP port for the proxy server. The default value is set to 80.
ProxyServer	If you enter the proxy server address, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server, otherwise specified. When the proxy server is set to a domain name, a DNS request is initiated and the name is translated to the corresponding IP address.
