The start command configures and starts the adapter command and control interface.
The Data Source Handler connects to and initiates a session with the Rendezvous server using the Rendezvous Client API. The SpSubscriber and SpPublisher components connect to Event Stream Processor using the Pub/Sub interface. SpSubscriber starts listening to the outbound streams and SpPublisher is ready to publish data to inbound streams.
If the start command is executed when there is a running instance of the adapter, it is ignored and a warning is sent that the adapter is already running.
