Connector restart requirements

Table 27 describes the restart requirements for connectors.

Note:
These restart requirements are for administrative tasks only. For information on restart requirements for development or implementation tasks, see the appropriate development guide or the System Implementation Guide.

Table 27. Connector restart requirements

Action Restart requirement
Add a new connector Restart InterChange Server Express
Delete a connector Dependent collaboration objects must be deleted first
Change configuration property (other than those mentioned below) Restart connector component. See property description in Connector Configurator Express to determine action
Change supported business objects properties Restart connector
Remove supported business object Restart connector
Change trace level of the connector agent Dynamic
Change trace level of the connector controller Dynamic
Change poll frequency Dynamic
Change controller store and forward mode Dynamic
Change transport protocol Restart InterChange Server Express
Change concurrent event-triggered flows Restart InterChange Server Express
Change poll start time Restart connector
Change poll end time Restart connector agent
Create new connector Does not require a restart of InterChange Server Express
Recompile connector Restart connector agent
Add new supported business objects Restart connector agent
Bind maps to supported business object Refresh connector screen in System Manager
Copy and paste connector Restart InterChange Server Express. Until InterChange Server Express is restarted, the Associated Maps screen is blank because the information in this screen reflects the InterChange Server Express run time only. Because this is a new connector with new supported business objects that are not yet reflected in InterChange Server Express run time, the Associated Maps screen has no running business objects for binding maps.
Make changes to the values of the following standard properties:
  • DeliveryTransport
  • AllowAnonymousConnections
  • EbGateway
  • RemoteWebGatewayURL
  • ListenPort
  • CACertificateDirectory
  • ConcurrentEvents
  • JMSBrokerName
  • JMSFactoryClassName
  • JMSUserNama
  • JMSPassword
  • NumberOfConnections
From System Manager, right-click the server under Server Instances, then select Refresh. The Refresh option stops the connector, temporarily caches its transient state, removes the instance from memory and replaces it with the new instance, then starts the new instance.
