I am new to Wtx and currently going with integration Flow Designer have started with one example given by some other user(nidhi) where i need to restart WTX Launcher service after deployment of the designed system to work as a event driven where event is input file should be placed inside working directory.

I will be obliged if any one kindly let me how to start/restart WTX launcher service. I am using WTX 8.3.

Read 1011.pdf, which would have been provided as part of your licensed WTX 8.3 installation.

This will answer your question whether you are working on Unix or Windows.

Thank you Tarun for your reply.
I am using windows platform.
But my system
D:\IBM\WebSphere Transformation Extender 8.3\docs\en\healthcare
this path(and all other folders in docs) have only 1039.pdf which is a healthcare based solution.

i will try to found 1011.pdf soon.

I came to know from some of my seniors that my system does not have WTX Launcher Service/application installed.

But From IBM help Document it is written

Engine
The WebSphere Transformation Extender engine executes maps in the Launcher and Command Server environments.

so my question is if Launcher is not present then how a map can be executed in windows platform.I am able to debug and run maps manually from my system.

Its contradictory.

If you don't have the Launcher installed, Command Server can be used to execute maps. This is what is used from the Design Studio.

Think of them as two different execution engines.

The Launcher allows you to execute integration flows based on a set of rules that are easily configurable in the Integration Flow Designer, rules such as scheduled events, or those used within event driven architectures. The Launcher also performs other important tasks such as resource management, but I won't go into that here (or I'll have to charge you a fee!).

The Command Server is simply a script used to run a map, but you can use this within any other program on the server and you can apply a range of commands as parameters to this command. For example, JCL is often used to execute maps via the Command Server. You lose the automatic functionality of the Launcher, but in some instances it is a preferred solution.

ya tarun thanks.now things are clear to me.

according to my understanding..a map can be executed by

1)design studio run option( manual run/test run)
2)using launcher application installed,that will manage the event driven functionality on system maps(IFD)
3)using comaand server scripts.

Once you have 8.3 ,your launcher and command server is combined to single engine which is launcher. In windows you can start launcher by controlling from launcher monitor which will be another design studio, you will be able to see in the suite.
