Restarting the adapter service

Various installation and configuration tasks might require the adapter to be restarted to apply the changes. For example, you must restart the adapter if there are changes in the adapter profile, connector, or assembly lines. To restart the adapter, restart the Dispatcher.

The adapter does not exist as an independent service or a process. The adapter is added to the Dispatcher instance, which runs all the adapters that are installed on the same Security Directory Integrator instance.

See the topic about starting, stopping, and restarting the Dispatcher service in the IBM Security Dispatcher Installation and Configuration Guide.
