Starting the connector

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.
