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 seen in Table 20.


Table 20. Startup scripts for a connector

Operating system Startup script
Windows start_connName.bat
OS/400 start_connName.sh
Linux connector_manager -start connName [-cConfigFile] sets environmental variables and starts the start_connName.sh start-up script automatically. You do not have to run the start-up script manually.

For more information on how to start a connector, including the command line start-up options, refer to the System Administration Guide.
