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 |
For more information on how to start a connector, including the command-line startup 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, shut down 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 the name of the connector and WebSphereICSName
On OS/400 platforms, you can invoke the connector startup script in the
following ways:
Where the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Console is installed:
In Batch mode: You need to 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, and jobDescriptionName is the name of the job description to use in the QWBISVR43 library.
In interactive mode: You need to run 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.
You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shut down or delete a connector using this tool.
On Linux platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the following way:
connector_manager -start connName WebSphereICSName [-cConfigFile]
where connName is the name of the connector and WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance. By default, the name of the InterChange Server Express instance is WebSphereICS.
