# Run the Connector

After you have collected the required files and configured the connector, you can run the connector by starting `connectorLibCpp.exe`.

## Install the Connector as a Service

You can install the connector as a service using the `-install` command line option. For example:

    connectorLibCpp.exe -install

## View Log Messages

Any log messages produced by your connector implementation appear in the appropriate log file. For example, in the HelloWorld connector introduced in Implement a New Connector, a message is logged by the `synchronize` action. The default configuration schedules a single synchronize task called MYTASK1, so when you run the connector the following message is logged to `logs\synchronize.log`:

    	30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello World

## Set Custom Configuration Parameters

The connector automatically reads configuration parameters from the appropriate location. If you are using the example HelloWorld connector from Implement a New Connector, you can modify the `Target` parameter in the configuration file. For example:

            [MyTask1]
            Target=Earth

When you run the connector again, the following message is logged:

    	30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello Earth

When you start the `synchronize` action using an ACI command, you can override the values of configuration parameters. This is handled automatically by ConnectorLib C++, so if you use the following action:

    	http://localhost:1234/action=fetch&fetchaction=synchronize&Target=Everybody

...the following message is logged:

    	30-Normal: MYTASK1: Hello Everybody
