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\connNamewhere connName identifies the connector.
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 4 shows.
Operating system | Startup script |
---|---|
Linux | connector_manager |
i5/OS | start_connName.sh |
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.
Starting the connector on a Windows system:
Starting the connector on a Linux system:
connector_manager -start connName brokerName [-cconfigFile ]where connName is the name of the connector and brokerName identifies your integration broker.
For more information on how to start a connector, including the command-line startup options, refer to the System Administration Guide.
