Activating a Package
There may be times when a package is installed on your Integration Server but is not active. When a package is active, it is “officially recognized” by Integration Server and displayed in the Package List on the Package Management screen. When a package is inactive, it exists in the Packages directory, but is not officially recognized by the server.
Possible reasons for a package being inactive are:
You manually installed the package while
Integration Server was running.
Another server published the package to your server, but the package requires a version of the JVM that is higher than the version on your server. A subscribing server will not activate a package under these circumstances.
The subscribing Integration Server must run in a JVM whose major version is the same or higher than the JVM version required by the package. For example, if the specified JVM version for a package release is 1.8.0_32, the installing Integration Server must be running in a JVM that is 1.8 or higher.
The package you installed has dependencies on another package that either does not exist on your server or is disabled. If the package is disabled, the server installed the package but did not activate it. You can activate the package when the dependencies are satisfied.
The package will not be available until either you restart the server or you activate the package.
To activate a package
1. Open the Integration Server Administrator if it is not already open.
2. In the Packages menu of the Navigation panel, click Management.
3. Click Activate Inactive Packages.
4. In the Inactive Packages area, select the package you want to activate from the pull-down menu and click Activate Package.
