A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. The startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory. For example, for Windows use:
ProductDir\connectors\connName
where connName identifies the connector. The name of
the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 3 shows.
Table 3. Startup scripts for a connector
Operating system | Startup script |
---|---|
Windows | start_connName.bat |
OS/400 | start_connName.sh |
For more information on how to start a connector, including the command line start-up options, refer to the System Administration Guide.
On Windows platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the
following ways:
You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
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 WebSphereICSName [-cconfigFile ]
where connName is th name of the connector and WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance. By default, the name of the InterChange Server Express isntance is WebSphereICS.
On OS/400 platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the following ways:
You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
Where the WebSphere Business Integration Console is installed, select Programs > IBM WebSphere Business Integration Console > Console. Then, specifiy the OS/400 system name or IP address and a user profile and password that has *JOBCTL special authority.Select the connName adapter from the list of adapters and select the Start Adapter button.
In Batch mode: Run CL Command QSH and from the QSHELL
environment run /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer43/bin/submit_adapter.sh
connName WebSphereICSName
pathToConnNameStartScript jobDescriptionName
where connName is the connector name, WebSphereICSName
is the InterChange Server Express server name (default is QWBIDFT),
pathToConnNameStartScript is the full path to the connector start
script, jobDescriptionName is the name of the job description to
use in the QWBISVR43 library (default job description is QWBIJDEC).
In interactive mode: Run the CL command QSH and from the
QSHELL environment, run
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/connectors
/connName/start_connName.sh connName
WebSphereICSName [-cConfigFile]
where connName is the name of your connector and
WebSphereICSName is the name of the Interchange Server Express
instance.
