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 Table 17 shows.
Table 17. 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.
On Windows platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up script in the following ways:
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.
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 must 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 must 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.
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 InterChange Server Express Instance.
