  • 1.  Prakash Hinduja Geneva (Swiss) How do I configure IBM Connect for the first time?

    Posted Tue August 12, 2025 08:17 AM

    Hey there! I'm Prakash Hinduja, a financial strategist with a passion for forward-thinking solutions. Born in Amritsar, India, I've made Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss), my home and base of operations.

    I'm setting up IBM Connect for the first time and could use some guidance. What's the best approach to configure it properly from the start? Are there any key settings I should focus on or common issues to avoid during setup? Any tips or best practices you've learned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Regards

    Hi, if you installing it for the first time then the basic settings should be fine.  It really depends on the flows that you are going create, how many concurrent users, etc to configure App Connect for production use.  I suggest you read the Knowledge Center first and then come back here with any specific questions.

    Hello Prakash,

    Just do the regular install with all default settings. That should get you up to speed. What you do next greatly depends on the use-case you are trying to achieve using IBM App Connect Enterprise.

    There is enough help material available across various channels:

    1. IBM App Connect docs: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/13.0.x
    2. Big Blue Help YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BigBlueHelps
    3. IBM App Connect blogs: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/groups/community-home/recent-community-blogs?communitykey=77544459-9fda-40da-ae0b-fc8c76f0ce18

    I would suggest that you explore these in parallel while exploring the product.

    And start with the developer edition, it's free of charge and identical to the paid version, except for a transaction limit (I beleive it's limited to 1/s)

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/13.0.x?topic=gsace-download-app-connect-enterprise-evaluation-edition-get-started

    And have a look at the tutorials
