Starting the connector

A connector must be explicitly started using its connector start-up script. On Windows systems the startup script should reside in the connector's runtime directory:

ProductDir\connectors\connName

where connName identifies the connector.

On UNIX systems the startup script should reside in the ProductDir/bin directory.

The name of the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 3 shows.

Operating system Startup script
UNIX-based systems connector_manager
Windows start_connName.bat

When the startup script runs, it expects by default to find the configuration file in the Productdir (see the commands below). This is where you place your configuration file.

Note:
You need a local configuration file if the adapter is using JMS transport.

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