#### To configure the connector service

Use the Connector Service screen to configure the connector container for all resource adapters deployed to this cluster or server instance.

1. Select Configurations from the tree.

2. Select the instance to configure:

   - To configure a particular instance, select the instance's config node. For example, for the default instance, server, select the server-config node.

   - To configure the default settings for future instances that use a copy of default-config, select the default-config node.

3. Select the Connector Service node.

4. Specify the shutdown timeout in seconds in the Shutdown Timeout field.

   Enter an integer representing the number of seconds that the application server waits to allow the `ResourceAdapter.stop` method of the connector module's instance to complete. Resource adapters that take longer than the specified shutdown timeout are ignored by the application server and the shutdown procedure continues. The default shutdown timeout is 30 seconds. Click Load Defaults to select the default shutdown timeout for the resource adapters deployed to this cluster or server instance.
