Hi Michael,

It is not possible to start a Smart Connector processor explicitly by using an external program. (e.g. no web service API etc..)

What you could do.. Is write your VB program to add a value into the Smart Connector's Processor Values database, and similar to the explanation about about reading that processor value from the processor, and only execute if its a specific value.

That said, an alternative method may be to see if you bring in the Mongoose.Common NuGet package into your VB application, and follow the instructions in chapter 9.9 of the developers guide. However, I am not sure if this will work if the VB application is not deployed in the Smart Connector's install directory.

Best Regards,
