Starting the adapter

To start the adapter for Exchange Server, you must:

  1. Start the connector.
  2. Start Event Listener.

Starting the connector

Startup script and methods

The connector can be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. The startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory:

For Windows:

ProductDir\connectors\connName 

or

For UNIX:

ProductDir/connectors/connName 

where connName identifies the connector, and ProductDir is the directory in which you installed the product. For a connector running under Windows, this file is ProductDir\connectors\Exchange\start_Exchange.bat.

For a connector running under UNIX, this file is ProductDir/connectors/Exchange/start_Exchange.sh.

You can invoke the connector startup script in any of the following ways:

For more information on how to start a connector, including the command-line startup options, refer to one of the following documents:

Tasks performed during connector startup

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

Starting Event Listener

By default, Event Listener is started automatically by the Information Service when the trigger (the arrival of a registered event) occurs. If you need to start Event Listener manually, however, use the Windows Component Services Administrative Tool, as follows:

  1. Click Start --> Programs --> Administrative Tools --> Component Services. The Component Services dialog box opens.
  2. Expand the Component Services and COM+ Applications folders.
  3. Right-click the BIA_Exchange application in the COM+ Applications folder to bring up the context menu, then click Start.
