Starting the connector
A connector must be started using its connector startup
script. The startup script should reside in the connector's
runtime directory. For example, on Windows use: ProductDir\connectors\connName
where connName identifies the connector. The name of the startup
script depends on the operator system. On Windows to start the connector,
run the start_OneWorld.bat script. On i5/OS, run the start_OneWorld.sh script.
Invoking the start-up script on Windows
On Windows platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up
script in the following ways:
- From System Monitor, you can load, activate, deactivate, pause,
shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
- From the Start menu
- Select Programs > IBM WebSphere Business Integration Express > Adapters > Connectors > your_connector_name
By default, the program name is IBM WebSphere Business
Integration Server Express. However, it can be customized. Alternatively,
you can create a desktop shortcut to your connector.
- On Windows systems, you can configure the connector to start
as a Windows service. In this case, the connector starts when the
Windows system boots (for an Auto service) or when you start the
service through the Windows Services window (for a Manual service).
- From the command line, type start_connName connName WebSphereICSName [-cconfigFile ]
where connName is th 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.
Invoking the start-up script on i5/OS
On i5/OS platforms, you can invoke the connector start-up
script in the following ways:
- From System Monitor, you can load, activate, deactivate, pause,
shutdown or delete a connector using this tool.
- From Windows, where the WebSphere Business Integration Console
is installed, select Programs > IBM WebSphere Business Integration Console > Console.
Then, specify the i5/OS system name or IP address and a user profile
and password that has *JOBCTL special authority. Select the connName adapter from a list
of adapters and select the Start Adapter button.
- From the i5/OS command line
- Batch mode: 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
(default job description is QWBIJDEC).
- Interactive mode: Run the 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.
Note:
To start with TCP/IP servers, use this command: /QIBM/ProdData/WBIServer43/bin/add_autostart_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
(default job description is QWBIJDEC).
