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
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
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance.
You can specify the InterChange Server Express server name as a parameter of startup.bat; an example is: start_JDBC.bat connName serverName.
/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.
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 InterChange Server Express name 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 connector instance subdirectory of \ProductDir\repository
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer43/WebSphereICSName/repository/ initialConnectorInstance
where WebSphereICSName is the name of the InterChange Server Express 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=${CONDIR}/CW${CONNAME}.jar to "CONJAR=${CONDIR}/CWJDBC.jar"
where new-jobd-name is a ten-character name that you use for the job description for your new JDBC connector
You can now run both instances of the connector on your integration server at the same time.
