A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. The start-up script should reside in the connector's run-time directory:
ProductDir\connectors\connName
where connName identifies the connector. The name of
the start-up script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 7 shows.
Table 7. Start-up scripts for a connector
Operating system | Start-up script |
---|---|
Windows | start_connName.bat |
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.
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 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, 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, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
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 WebSphere InterChange Server Express.
