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 10 shows.
Table 10. Startup scripts for a connector
Operating system | Startup script |
---|---|
Windows | start_connName.bat |
OS/400 | start_connName.sh |
Linux | 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:
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 is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance. By default, the name of the InterChange Server Express instance is WebSphereICS.
On OS/400 platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the
following ways:
Where the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Console is installed, select Programs>IBM WebSphere Business Integration Console >Console. Then, specify 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: You must 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 must 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.
On Linux platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the following way:
where connName is the name of the connector and WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance. Invoke the connector_manager command from the /bin directory.
