A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. The startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory:
ProductDir\connectors\connName
where connName identifies the connector. The name of
the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 8 shows.
Table 8. Startup scripts for a connector
Operating system | Startup script |
---|---|
Windows | start_connName.bat |
You can invoke the connector startup script in any of the following ways:
Select Programs>IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express>Adapters>Connectors>your_connector_name.
By default, the program name is "IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express". However, it can be customized. Alternatively, you can create a desktop shortcut to your connector.
start_connName connName ICS [-cconfigFile ]
where connName is the name of the connector.
You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
For more information on how to start a connector, including the command-line startup options, refer to the System Administration Guide.
