Phase 4: Generate the connector package

Use the

Informatica Connector Toolkit

to generate the connector package.

In the

Connector Progress

view, under

Phase 4: Generate the Connector Package

, click

Generate Package

The Generate Connector Package window appears.

Specify the connector details to generate the connector package.

Specify the following details to generate the connector package:

Property	Description
Logo Location	The image file for the logo of the connector. The file must be in PNG or JPEG format and the file size must not exceed 64 KB. The dimensions of the logo must be 89 x 45 pixels. The file name must not contain spaces or special characters.
Connector Package Location	The location where you want to save the connector package.
Connector Package Version	The version of the connector package.
Override Connector Package	Select to override the existing connector package.

Click

Finish

If the connector package is generated successfully, a confirmation message is displayed.

Click OK
.

When you generate the connector package, the

Informatica Connector Toolkit

bundles the connector artifacts and generates the connector package that you can use for Cloud Data Loader.

If you encounter an error or fail to publish the connector, refer to the

<connector_name>_codebuilder.log

file for details of the error. The

<connector_name>_codebuilder.log

file is available in the

folder.

When you publish the connector, the

Informatica Connector Toolkit

restarts the Secure Agent. The Secure Agent can connect to the data source and you can create connections to the data source in a data loader task. If you fail to publish the connector, install the connector manually.
