In the UNIX environment, you start a connector by running 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_connector.sh script, which handles the actual connector management for the connector.
The WebSphere Business Integration Adapters Installer includes a
start_connector.sh script
with each connector you install. You can modify
start_connector.sh script
to also include any of the supported startup options listed in Table 22.
Table 22. Options for the start_connector.sh script.
Option | Description |
---|---|
-b | This option runs the connector as a background thread; that is, no input is read from STDIN (standard input). The generic connector_manager script (called by each connector_manager_connector script) automatically specifies the -b option when it invokes the start_connector.sh script for a connector. You can remove this option from the script to prevent a connector from being run in the background. The -b option is not valid on the command-line invocation of connector_manager_connector. |
-fpoll_freq | The amount of time between polling actions. Possible values for
poll_freq are:
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.
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. |
