UNIX

In the UNIX environment, you start a connector by running the connector_manager_connName script, which is a wrapper for the generic connector manager script (ProductDir/bin/connector_manager). The generic connector manager script calls the appropriate start_connName.sh script, which handles the actual connector management for the connector.

Each WebSphere Business Integration adapter includes a start_connName.sh script. You can modify this script to also include any of the supported startup options listed in Table 24..

Table 24. Options for the start_connector.sh script.

Option Description
-fpoll_freq
 
The amount of time between polling actions. Possible values for poll_freq are:
  • The number of milliseconds between polling actions.
  • key: Causes the connector to poll only when you type the letter p in the connector's Command Prompt window. Enter the word in lowercase.
  • no: Causes the connector not to poll. Enter the word in lowercase.

The default is 10000. The -f option is valid on the command-line invocation of connector_manager_connector. The connector manager script can pass this option to its associated start_connector.sh script. This option overrides the poll frequency specified in the connector's configuration file.

-tthreading_type
 
The threading_type option specifies the threading model.
Note:
Only use the -t option when you start a custom-developed connector. Connectors that are installed using the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters installer already have a connector_manager_connector startup script that specifies (or omits) the required -t option, as required by the application, on the line that starts up the connector.
Possible values for threading_type are:
  • SINGLE_THREADED: only a single thread accesses the application
  • MAIN_SINGLE_THREADED: only the main thread accesses the application
  • MULTI_THREADED: multiple threads can access the application.

The -t option is not valid on the command-line invocation of connector_manager_connName. Specify it inside the generic connector_manager script, in the invocation of the start_connector.sh script.
