For information on starting and stopping a connector, see one of the following documents, depending on the integration broker you are using:
If you are using Cyclone 4.1 or earlier, you can have difficulty starting the connector for TPI when WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker is used as the broker (WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker integration broker only). If the local connector configuration file contains encrypted property values (for example, a password), the exception java.lang.NullPointerException is thrown during startup and the connector terminates.
To prevent this problem, replace the provider list in the java.security file with the following values:
security.provider.1=com.cyclonecommerce.crossworks.provider.Cyclone security.provider.2=iaik.security.provider.IAIK security.provider.3=sun.security.provider.Sun
On an AIX system, the java.security file is located in the %CYCLONEHOMEDIR%/jre/lib/security directory. On Windows and Solaris systems, the file is located in the %CYCLONEHOMEDIR%/cijre/lib/security directory.
