Enterprise Connector service - processing

The Enterprise Connector service starts polling and pushing messages for a specific application when the related connection point to Enterprise Connector in ION is activated.

Data flow activation and deactivation have related start and stop polling commands. These commands are transmitted from ION in the cloud to the local Enterprise Connector through Amazon SQS and S3. This is an asynchronous process. An actual activation or deactivation is picked up and executed by the Enterprise Connecter when it is running and connected to Amazon SQS and S3.

When one or more IMS connection points are activated for this Enterprise Connector, an extra process is started at the Enterprise Connector host. This is, the ION Messaging Service node. For the ION Messaging Service node one instance is running. If the Enterprise Connector is scaled to multiple hosts, the Enterprise Connector Grid decides where that instance runs. The Enterprise Connector is restarted on the other (failover) host if the current host goes down.

You can find logging and configuration information for the Enterprise Connector service at each host in these folders:

• <Installation Folder>\grid\log\SYSTEM

  This folder contains logfiles for the core grid functionality.

• <Installation Folder>\grid\log\IONEnterpriseConnector

  This folder contains logfiles for the core enterprise connector node.

• <Installation Folder>\grid\log\IONMessagingService

  This folder contains logfiles about the processing of incoming IMS requests to the Enterprise Connector.
