Connectors

Use built-in connectors to access popular applications and services.

You do not need to always configure service connectors. Based on your license, some connectors come with

Application Integration

offers built in connectors that can be grouped into the following categories:

Connectors designed to access data to and from the cloud. The JDBC, Workday, SAP BAPI, OData, and Salesforce connectors are in this category.

Message-based connectors designed so you can configure queue-based message brokers like ActiveMQ and JMS. The AMQP and Amazon SQS connectors are in this category.

Listener-based connectors that you configure to monitor file-based systems. You can monitor systems for files, objects on a file system, and other types of storage. You can retrieve files and process the contents of the files or perform file operations like moving or reading file metadata.

For example, you can parse comma-delimited file, make the file contents available in a process object as XML, and archive the processed file in another directory. The file or object metadata, such as number of rows or time stamp, is also available in a process object. The File, FTP, and Amazon S3 connectors are in this category.

Listener-based connectors that you configure to access event services. You can perform tasks like reading XML from a process object and creating comma-delimited files or reading binary files from a process stream and writing that binary content to the target file system.

With listener-based connectors, you need to define the following properties:

Event Sources, which act as consumers or start events to trigger processes.

Event Targets, which act as event services that you can use to invoke external systems
