This documentation describes the connectors and how they are used.
The Link connector wizard provides an easy way to create REST-based adapters, or connectors, within the user interface, without having to write code or use additional tooling.
Service based adapters are created by referencing a service definition that defines REST endpoints. Endpoints defined in the service become operations of the adapter, and the parameters of the service and its endpoints become the properties of the adapter.
Flow based connectors are created by referencing a project that contains Link flows.
Connectors that use both flows and services are created by referencing a project that contains Link flows, and a service defiition that defines REST endpoints.
Link adapters can be implemented in Java or C/C++. The connector wizard can be used to create the adapter descriptor that is required to expose the properties and operation of the adapter to Link.
The connector wizard provides capabilities from the connectors page of the user interface.
Connector properties allow you to configure a connector.
Operations provide a convenient way for you to set the properties of a connector. Selecting an operation automatically configures one or more properties to simplify your experience.
Certain applications that use Link require that connectors define a schema mapping.
