Create a new connector project

Create a new connector project

Create a connector project to define the type of connector you want to create. You can create a connector for Cloud Data Integration or Data Loader cloud service. Select the creation method, depending on whether you want to create a connector using a JDBC driver, an SDK from a third-party library, or a REST-based solution. You can select the authentication type to connect to a REST-based application.
Use the Informatica Connector Toolkit to create a connector project and define the connector properties.
  1. On the Eclipse IDE toolbar, click the
    Create New Connector
     button ( " " ).
    The
    Create New Connector Project
     window appears.
    The image shows the connector details required to create a connector.
  2. In the

    Select one of the following creation methods:
    • JDBC. Create a JDBC driver-based connector.
    • Libraries. Create a connector using a third-party library SDK.
    • REST. Create a connector for REST-based application.
    Default is REST.
    Authentication Type
    The authentication type for the REST creation method.
    Select one of the following authentication types:
    • No Authentication: Does not require authentication.
    • Basic. Uses the user name and password for authentication.
    • Token. Uses token-based authentication.
    • OAuth 1.0. Uses OAuth 1.0 for authentication.
    • OAuth 2.0. Uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication.
    • API Key. Uses API key for authentication.
    Default is basic authentication.
  3. If a connector with the same name already exists, the following error is displayed:
    A connector with the same name already exists. Enter a different name.
    Click
    OK
     and specify a unique name for the new connector.
  4. Click
