Task: run the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender with Launcher

Edit online

Procedure

  1. Start the Launcher service in the Windows Services, which can be accessed through the Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools Control Panel.

  2. The Launcher Monitor will allow you to monitor the Message Manager system graphically. Access the Launcher Monitor by selecting by selecting Launcher Monitor from the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Start menu link or the IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender Design Studio Start menu link.
  3. Select Options > Select Launcher and click Add to add a new server.
  4. Enter the Launcher Name as MessageManager.
  5. Enter User Login (your initials) and Password (letmein).
  6. Enter LocalHost for Server.
  7. Click Connect.
  8. Select the Message Manager system then click OK and click OK again.
  9. In the Management Console, right-click the MessageManager Launcher and select Connect.
  10. Right-click CompoundSystem and select Start.
  11. The Export map will run as soon as the Launcher is started. Check the Management Console to verify it completed successfully before proceeding to the next step. There will be 2 completed maps under History Successes, and the History Total will also be 2.
  12. The first time that you run the event server, you may receive a History Function Failure. This is because the export map is looking for a non-existent backup file in the mmgr\share directory. The second and subsequent times the event server is launched, this error will not repeat. To test this, stop the event server and restart it by right clicking on the CompoundSystem icon, selecting Stop, then right click again and select Start.
    Note: You may see a history failure: failed at run function for the argument checkhipaafiles in the export component. This failure can be safely ignored if you are not planning to run Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) data through the system. If you plan to use HIPAA data, search the Pack for HIPAA EDI documentation for the file hipaa_x12_type_6_value.dat for instructions on how to add this support.
