Naming Convention

Naming Convention

A naming convention makes it easy to identify the files that belong to a connector.
Use the following guidelines when you name the connector files:
  • Determine a name for the connector. Use the connector name as a prefix for the connector file names. The connector name is an alphanumeric string that can include the uppercase and lowercase letters A to Z and the numbers 0 to 9. The first character of the name must be a letter.
  • Determine a unique name to identify the company building the connector. The company name is included in the package name for the connector classes.
  • Use the connector name when you create a directory for the connector in the Informatica directory: 
    INFA_HOME\plugins\dynamic\
    ConnectorName
The following table lists the recommended naming convention for connector files:
