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 resides in the ProductDir/bin directory. The name of the startup script depends on the operating-system platform, as Table 12 shows.

UNIX-based systems connector_manager

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