Building a Connector

Building a Connector

Use the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
 to develop and deploy a connector for the Informatica platform. You can use the Informatica Connector perspective in the Eclipse IDE to rapidly develop a connector.
To build a connector with the
Informatica Connector Toolkit
, perform the following tasks:
  1. Install the
    Informatica Connector Toolkit
     and set up the
    Informatica Connector Toolkit
     Eclipse plug-in.
  2. Create an Informatica connector project and define the following components:
    • Connection
    • Type system
    • Metadata
    • Runtime
    Before you deploy the connector, you can test and debug the connection, metadata, and run-time components.
  3. Publish the connector bundle or deploy and register the connector.
  4. If you publish the connector bundle, run the server batch file to deploy and register the connector with Informatica services. Run the client batch file to deploy the client components.
