Configuring Connectors and Sources

Use the Connector component to connect to a data source and select and configure a specific data provider. Connector is the predefined interface template and is the base for Connector sources.

Connector sources are the instances of connector types, which can be configured to connect directly to data providers. Based on the supported connector types, you can configure the connectors sources for various databases or REST-compliant web services.

The source name must be unique for a connector type. However, the source name can be identical across different connector types. For example, connector sources with same name, Example_connector, created for REST API connector and Cassandra connector.

These connector sources can then be used to create data definitions.
