When you create an additional instance of this adapter (or any adapter that is supplied with WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus), that instance of the adapter will be counted as a separate adapter by the licensing function that limits the total number of adapters |that can be deployed.
You can set your system up to create and run multiple instances of a connector by following the steps below. You must:
You must create a connector directory for each connector instance. This connector directory should be named:
ProductDir\connectors\connectorInstance
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance.
If the connector has any connector-specific meta-objects, you must create a meta-object for the connector instance. If you save the meta-object as a file, create this directory and store the file here:
ProductDir\repository\connectorInstance
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/connectors/connectorInstance
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance and where WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance with which the connector runs. QWBIDFT is the default name.
If the connector has any connector-specific meta-objects, you must create a meta-object for the connector instance. If you save the meta-object as a file, create this directory and store the file here:
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/repository/connectorInstance
where WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express instance with which the connector runs.
ProductDir/connectors/connectorInstance
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance If the connector has any connector-specific meta-objects, you must create a meta-object for the connector instance. If you save the meta-object as a file, create this directory and store the file here:
ProductDir/repository/connectorInstance
You can specify the ICS servername as a parameter of connector_manager; an example is connector_manager -start connName WebSphereICSName [-cConfigFile].
If the business object definitions for each connector instance do not already exist within the project, you must create them.
ProductDir\repository\initialConnectorInstance
Any additional files you create should be in the appropriate connectorInstance subdirectory of ProductDir\repository.
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/repository /initialConnectorInstance
where WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express server instance with which the connector runs.
Any additional files you create should be in the appropriate connectorInstance subdirectory of:
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/repository
/ProductDir/repository/initialConnectorInstance
Any additional files you create should be in the appropriate connectorInstance subdirectory of
/ProductDir/repository
You create a configuration file (connector definition) for the connector instance in Connector Configurator Express. To do so:
To create a startup script:
dirname
(For Linux only.) You must change the start-up script CONJAR from "CONJAR=${CONDIR}/BIA_${CONNAME}.jar" to "CONJAR=${CONDIR}/BIA_iSeries.jar"
CRTDUPOBJ OBJ(QWBIISRSC) FROMLIB(QWBISVR43) OBJTYPE(*JOBD) TOLIB(QWBISVR43) NEWOBJ(newiSeriesname)
where newiSeriesname is a 10-character name that you use for the job description for your new email connector.
You can now run both instances of the connector on your integration server at the same time.
