Running
the
connector
v
v
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\connName
where
connName
identifies
the
connector.
On
UNIX
systems
the
startup
script
should
reside
in
the
ProductDir/bin
directory.
The
name
of
the
startup
script
depends
on
the
operating-system
platform,
as
shows.
Table

Startup
scripts
for
a
connector
Operating
system
Startup
script
UNIX-based

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.
Note:
You
need
a
local
configuration
file
if
the
adapter
is
using
JMS
transport.
You
can
invoke
the
connector
startup
script
in
any
of
the
following
ways:
v
On
Windows
systems,
from
the
Start
menu
Select
Programs>IBM
WebSphere
Business
Integration
Adapters>Adapters>Connectors
.
By
default,
the
program
name
is
“IBM
WebSphere
Business
Integration
Adapters”.
However,
it
can
be
customized.
Alternatively,
you
can
create
a
desktop
shortcut
to
your
connector.
v
From
the
command
line
–
On
Windows
systems:
start_connName
connName
brokerName
[-cconfigFile
]
–
On
UNIX-based
systems:
connector_manager
-start
connName
brokerName
[-cconfigFile
]
where
connName
is
the
name
of
the
connector
and
brokerName
identifies
your
integration
broker,
as
follows:
–
For
WebSphere
InterChange
Server,
specify
for
brokerName
the
name
of
the
ICS
instance.
–
For
WebSphere
message
brokers
(WebSphere
MQ
Integrator,
WebSphere
MQ
Integrator
Broker,
or
WebSphere
Business
Integration
Message
Broker)
or
WebSphere
Application
Server,
specify
for
brokerName
a
string
that
identifies
the
broker.
