Connectors
 

A Connector is a piece of software used to move data between specific applications using those applications' APIs.  Connectors are installed on the Agent through the Web API, the UI, or manually on a local Agent.  They are responsible for authentication to the third-party system, gathering metadata used to design Solutions, and transforming metadata into the format needed.

Once a Connector is installed, the user can configure a Connection, which is the configuration of the parameters required by the Connector to connect to the datastore for a specific application, such as. user name, URL, etc.
