When the start command is executed, it configures and starts the command and control interface, starts the adapter, discovers the Web service using its WSDL, connects the ESPPublisher and ESPPSubscriber components to Event Stream Processor, and then connects to the Web service using the endpoints specified in either the adapter configuration file or the WSDL.
The adapter ignores the start command if it is executed when there is a running instance of the adapter, and sends a warning.
