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\tcpip.

On Linux systems the startup script should reside in the ProductDir/bin directory.

On i5/OS systems the startup script should reside in the /QIBM/UserData/WBIServer44/<instance>/connectors/<ConnInstance>/ with which the connector runs.

The name of the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 5 shows.

i5/OS start_tcpip.sh
Windows start_tcpip.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.

Tasks performed during connector startup

When the connector is started, it performs the following tasks:
