Multi-process setup

 I don't get something.  When I run the agent process and that I'm 
 pointing it to my properties.xml file where connector.xml file is 
 listed.  Why do I have to manually register my connectors?  I've ran 
 DBCreate, Install and Register(CrawlerAgent).  Noticed I have to issue 
 register commands for the rest.  I don't understand the purpose of 
 connectors.xml if I have to do this manually.

 Thanks!

connectors.xml only applies to the Quick Start.  All connectors are
registered every time you run the process.  For a multiprocess setup,
there is no single process this should occur on, and furthermore, it
is more technically correct to register a connector only once.  Some
of the steps of registration (e.g. creating database tables) can be
stateful and fairly expensive and the QuickStart is thus a compromise.
