Checking whether the source system connector started

Source documents will only be collected if the source system connector was correctly configured and started.

Depending on the source system connector that you defined in the task route, search for the following strings in the respective log files. Source system connection errors are logged depending on the log level that you defined in the IBM® Content Collector Configuration Manager when you configure the connector.

Ensure that you set the adequate log level to identify this type of error and run the task route again before you begin searching for error strings. The default log file directory is ContentCollector-install-directory\ctms\Log.
