A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. The startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory:
ProductDir\connectors\connName

Table 9. Startup scripts for a connector
Operating system | Startup script |
---|---|
UNIX-based systems | connector_manager_connName |
Windows | start_connName.bat |
You can invoke the connector startup script in any of the following ways:
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.
start_connName connName brokerName [-cconfigFile ]
connector_manager_connName -start
where connName is the name of the connector and brokerName identifies your integration broker, as follows:
