Configure a Connector

Version 23.4.8841

Configure a Connector

This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.

Connection Tab

Connector Details

Settings that determine how the API can be accessed.

  • Connector Id The static, unique identifier for the connector.
  • Connector Type Displays the connector name and a description of what it does.
  • Connector Description An optional field to provide a free-form description of the connector and its role in the flow.
  • API Endpoint The URL to which the custom API is published. To access a specific resource, append a slash and the resource name to this URL value.
  • API Documentation The URL to which the documentation for the custom API is published.

Connection

Settings related to the database connection.

  • Data Source Type The type of database to connect to.
  • Settings Format Whether to specify a set of individual connection properties or a single connection string containing each of the properties.
  • Connection String The database credentials in connection string format. Only applicable when Settings Format is set to Connection String.
  • Server The host name or IP address of the server hosting the database.
  • Port The port on which to connect to the database host.
  • Database The name of the database to connect to.
  • User The user credential that has permission to access the database.
  • Password The password credential associated with the specified User.

Advanced Section

Advanced settings are auto-generated based on the configured Data Source Type. For more information on an advanced setting, please see the documentation for the connector that matches your data source.

Resources Tab

The Resources tab lists all API resources exposed by the connector. Each resource is generated from a table or view present in the connected database. Adding a new resource exposes new database data to a web API call via the connector. See API Resources for details.

Actions Tab

The Actions tab lists all API actions exposed by the connector. Each action is generated from a stored procedure present in the connected database. Adding a new action exposes new database data to a web API call via the connector. See API Actions for details.

アラートタブ

アラートとサービスレベル（SLA）の設定に関連する設定.

コネクタのE メール設定

サービスレベル（SLA）を実行する前に、通知用のE メールアラートを設定する必要があります。アラートを設定をクリックすると、新しいブラウザウィンドウで設定ページが開き、システム全体のアラートを設定することができます。詳しくは、アラートを参照してください。

サービスレベル（SLA）の設定

サービスレベルでは、フロー内のコネクタが送受信すると予想される処理量を設定し、その量が満たされると予想される時間枠を設定できます。CData Arc は、サービスレベルが満たされていない場合にユーザーに警告するE メールを送信し、SLA を At Risk（危険） としてマークします。これは、サービスレベルがすぐに満たされない場合に Violated（違反） としてマークされることを意味します。これにより、ユーザーはサービスレベルが満たされていない理由を特定し、適切な措置を講じることができます。At Risk の期間内にサービスレベルが満たされなかった場合、SLA はViolated としてマークされ、ユーザーに再度通知されます。

サービスレベルを定義するには、予想処理量の条件を追加をクリックします。

  • コネクタに個別の送信アクションと受信アクションがある場合は、ラジオボタンを使用してSLA に関連する方向を指定します。
  • 検知基準（最小）を、処理が予想されるトランザクションの最小値（量）に設定し、毎フィールドを使用して期間を指定します。
  • デフォルトでは、SLA は毎日有効です。これを変更するには、毎日のチェックをOFF にし、希望する曜日のチェックをON にします。
  • 期間終了前にステータスを’At Risk’ に設定するタイミングを使用して、SLA がAt Risk としてマークされるようにします。
  • デフォルトでは、通知はSLA が違反のステータスになるまで送信されません。これを変更するには、‘At Risk’ 通知を送信のチェックをON にします。

次の例は、月曜日から金曜日まで毎日1000ファイルを受信すると予想されるコネクタに対して構成されたSLA を示しています。1000ファイルが受信されていない場合、期間終了の1時間前にAt Risk 通知が送信されます。

Users Tab

The Users tab lists all users authorized to make API calls to the connector. You can restrict users by HTTP method (GET, POST, etc), number of requests per hour, and number of concurrent requests. You can also manage API credentials by server on the Server tab. See Users for details.

Server Tab

Trusted IP Addresses

The following functions are available in the Trusted IP Addresses section:  

  • Add Opens a modal to enter a new IP address range.
  • Edit Opens a modal to modify the selected IP address range.
  • Delete Deletes the selected IP address range from the list.

The following restrictions apply to this feature:

  • localhost cannot be modified or removed from the list.
  • Any IP addresses outside of the defined ranges are rejected.
  • Ranges are supported. For example, the entry 100.10.100.1-15 indicates that IP addresses between 100.10.100.1 and 100.10.100.15 are allowed.
  • Classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) notation is supported. For example, the entry 100.10.100.0/24 indicates that IP addresses between 100.10.100.0 and 100.10.100.255 are allowed.
  • Wildcard patterns are supported. For example, the entry 100.10.100.* indicates that IP addresses beginning with 100.10.100 are allowed.

Default Rate Limits (Per User)

Settings restricting the number of API requests allowed.

See Rate Limiting for more information.

  • Max Requests Per Hour The limit to the number of requests a single user can issue in an hour.
  • Max Concurrent Requests The limit to the number of concurrent requests a user can issue.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

Settings governing the use of CORS to serve cross-origin resources.

  • クロスオリジンリソース共有（CORS）を有効化する Whether or not CORS is enabled. The rest of these options are only available when you check this box.
  • Allow all domains without ‘*‘ If enabled, domain origins are not restricted to a specific list.
  • Access-Control-Allow-Origin The comma-delimited list of domain origins to allow. Included as an HTTP response header.
  • Access-Control-Allow-Credentials Whether or not user credentials such as cookies are allowed in cross-origin requests. Included as an HTTP response header.
  • Access-Control-Allow-Methods The comma-delimited list of methods to allow. Included as an HTTP response header.
  • Access-Control-Allow-Headers The comma-delimited list of headers to allow. Included as an HTTP response header.
  • Access-Control-Max-Age The maximum duration (in seconds) that Access-Control response header values can be cached.

OData

Settings related to OData feature support.

  • Server-Side Paging Size The number of results per-page returned by an OData request. Set this option to 0 to return all results.
  • Default Format The OData format to be used when the client does not specify a format.
  • Default Version The OData version to be used when the client does not specify a version.
  • Date Time Format The format to use when returning date-time information.
  • Base URL The fully qualified URL of the OData endpoint. If unspecified, Arc attempts to create the base URL based on the incoming request.

Advanced Settings

Message

  • Save to Sent Folder Check this to copy files processed by the connector to the Sent folder for the connector.
  • Sent Folder Scheme Instructs the connector to group messages in the Sent folder according to the selected interval. For example, the Weekly option instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all messages for the week in that folder. The blank setting tells the connector to save all messages directly in the Sent folder. For connectors that process many messages, using subfolders helps keep messsages organized and improves performance.

Logging

  • Log Level The verbosity of logs generated by the connector. When you request support, set this to Debug.
  • Log Subfolder Scheme Instructs the connector to group files in the Logs folder according to the selected interval. For example, the Weekly option instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all logs for the week in that folder. The blank setting tells the connector to save all logs directly in the Logs folder. For connectors that process many transactions, using subfolders helps keep logs organized and improves performance.
  • Log Messages Check this to have the log entry for a processed file include a copy of the file itself. If you disable this, you might not be able to download a copy of the file from the Input or Output tabs.

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous settings are for specific use cases.

  • Other Settings Enables you to configure hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list (for example, setting1=value1;setting2=value2). Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require the use of these settings.
