Basic steps

The following steps summarize the process flow of using the Launcher with the Management Tools.

  1. From the Launcher Administration interface, configure the Launcher by setting up users, port numbers, and deployment directories.
  2. Use the Integration Flow Designer to create a system and then generate the system (.msl) file to the deployment directory. For help on creating or generating a system file, see the Integration Flow Designer documentation.
  3. Start the Launcher service or daemon.
  4. Open a connection to the Launcher from the Management Console and begin viewing statistical data from the process that is running. From there you can also control the compound system that is running.
  5. Open a connection to the Launcher from the Launcher Monitor to view watches that are running dynamically and to take snapshots.
  6. Open the Snapshot Viewer to view snapshots taken by the Monitor.
