Starting the connector

A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. On Windows systems the startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory:

ProductDir\connectors\connName

where connName identifies the connector.

The name of the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 12 shows.

Table 12. Startup scripts for a connector
Operating system Startup script
Windows start_connName.bat

When the startup script runs, it expects by default to find the configuration file in the Productdir (see the commands below). This is where you place your configuration file.

Note:
You need a local configuration file if the adapter is using JMS transport.

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