Starting the TwineBall connector

To start the TwineBall connector, follow these steps.

  1. Create a directory called TwineBall inside the /connectors directory of your Adapter Framework or InterChange Server installation.
  2. Put the configuration file in that directory if you are not running the Adapter Framework for WebSphere InterChange Server. If you are running InterChange Server, import the configuration.
  3. Create the necessary WebSphere MQ queues for running the adapter for your broker. If the broker is InterChange Server, this may not be necessary because you can use the IDL transport.
  4. Start up the Connector Configurator and change the MessageFileName standard property to "TwineBallAdapter.txt".
  5. Attempt to start the connector using the ordinary syntax for starting an adapter. For example:
    start_TwineBall TwineBall WMQI  -c
       C:\IBM\WebSphereAdapters\connectors\TwineBall\TwineBall.cfg
       
  6. To test the adapter, you can set up a pass-through collaboration in InterChange Server or reverse the delivery and service call queues in non-InterChange server mode. However, these procedures are beyond the scope of this document.
