Starting the connector

There are several methods of starting the connector, depending on the platform you are running under and the integration broker you are using.

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\TCPIP\start_TCPIP.bat.

For a connector running under UNIX, this file is ProductDir/connectors/TCPIP/start_TCPIP.sh.

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