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_XML.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:
dirname
