Starting the Event Replicator Target Adapter

This document describes how to start Event Replicator Target Adapter in Windows and in UNIX as well as how to start it from the Administration tool.

Note:
The Event Replicator Target Adapter is automatically stopped and restarted every time an Event Replicator Target Adapter definition is saved or deleted using the Administration tool. For this reason, we recommend that you shut down the Event Replicator Target Adapter prior to making changes to the definitions and restart the Event Replicator Target Adapter when all definition changes are complete.

  1. Navigate to the following directory: <installation-dir>/Event Replicator Target Adapter/Vv.r.s/bin, where <installation-dir> is the name of the directory in which the Event Replicator Target Adapter program files were installed and v.r.s represents the current version, release, and system modification level of the Event Replicator Target Adapter.

    Or:
    From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs, then select Software AG Event Replicator Target Adapter v.r.s (where v.r.s represents the current version, release, and system modification level of the Event Replicator Target Adapter), and finally select Event Replicator Target Adapter Command Prompt.
