Creating multiple instances of a connector is in many ways the same as creating a custom connector. You can set your system up to create and run multiple instances of a connector by following the steps below. You must:
ProductDir\connectors\connectorInstance
If the connector has any connector-specific meta-objects, you must create a meta-object for the connector instance. If you save the meta-object as a file, create this directory and store the file here:
ProductDir\repository\connectorInstance
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance.
You can specify the InterChange Server Express server name as a parameter of startup.bat; an example is: start_OracleApps.bat connName serverName.
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/WebShereICSName/connectors/connectorInstance
where connectorInstance uniquely identifies the connector instance and where WebSphereICSName is the name of the Interchange Server Express instance with which the connector runs.
If the connector has any connector-specific meta-objects, you must create a meta-object for the connector instance. If you save the meta-object as a file, create this directory and store the file here:
/QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/WebSphereICSName
/repository/connectorInstance where WebSphereICSName
is the name of the Interchange Server Express instance with which
the connector runs.
If the business object definitions for each connector instance do not already exist within the project, you must create them.
ProductDir\repository\initialConnectorInstanceAny additional files you create should be in the appropriate connectorInstance subdirectory of ProductDir\repository.
You create a configuration file (connector definition) for the connector instance in Connector Configurator Express. To do so:
To create a startup script:
