This process reads the XML triggers from the AIF.TRIGGER.OUT queue and sends them to 
the relevant Java processor, based on the header information contained in each XML 
document.

1. Edit the /AEF/controller.properties file to reflect the iSeries name and the MQSeries 

Manager that was setup earlier on the iSeries. 

2. A shell script is provided to start the AIF controller (/vendorConnect/aifcntrlr.sh). On the 

last line, insert your iSeries name and the port for the instance of WebSphere that you are 
using:

java -Djava.naming.provider.url=iiop://<iSeries>:<port number> 
-Djev.config=/VendorConnect/deployed/ejb_default.cfg 

com.geac.erp.system21.aif.toolkit.Controller -p Controller.properties -v

3. Call the OSLVCD3/AIFCNTRLR CL program. The program runs the script. To run the CL 

program, enter:

CALL OSLVCD3/AIFCNTRLR

When this has run, the following three jobs should be running within QEJBSBS:

򐂰

QP0ZSPWP

򐂰

QZSHSH

򐂰

AIFCNTRLR

They may be identified because the will be running under the user profile of whomever started 
them.

You may want to schedule this job to stop and start daily or after power downs. However, note 
that there should be a delay prior to starting this process to allow WebSphere to start the 
various application servers first. You may achieve this by creating a CL program to start 
WebSphere and then call AIFCNTRLR with a DLYJOB command in between. The delay may 
need to be several minutes. You may have to experiment to see what is necessary.
