You can view the state of a connector either by logging on to System Monitor and opening a view that contains connector states or by using the InterChange Server Component Management view in System Manager. To use System Manager, follow the instructions in Steps for connecting to an InterChange Server Express instance.
The state of a connector is represented differently, depending on which tool you are using.
Perform the following steps to see the state of connectors in System Monitor:
When the product is installed, the default view is set to System Overview, and the default monitor contained in that view is set to System Overview. These defaults can be changed to suit your monitoring needs. See Setting up views to monitor the system for instructions.
