You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
Select Program > IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express > Adapters > Connectors > your_connector_name.
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.
On Windows systems, you can configure the connector to start as a Windows service. In this case, the connector starts when the Windows system boots (for an Auto service) or when you start the service through the Windows Services window (for a Manual service).
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:
You can load, activate, deactivate, pause, shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
In Batch mode: Run the command line 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 (default job description name, QWBIWEBCSC).
In interactive mode: Run the command line 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.
/QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer43/bin/add_autostart_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 (default job description name is QWBIWEBCSC.
On Linux platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the following way:
connector_manager -start connName WebSphereICSName |[-cConfigFile]
