Connection
A connection is the lowest layer: an address and the credentials to reach it. Adapters, partner networks and integrations all point at one.
The connection list, with type and status per row.
Creating one
Create offers the types:
| Type | For |
|---|---|
| REST | Calling a REST service |
| RESTIN | Receiving REST calls - the platform provides the URL |
| SOAP / SOAPIN | Calling, or receiving, SOAP |
| SFTP | File transfer |
| JDBC | A database |
| AS2 | EDI over AS2 |
| SMTP | Sending mail |
REST connections have four tabs: Basic Details, Query Parameters, Request Headers and Authorization. Authorization covers None, Basic Auth, Bearer Token, API Key and OAuth 2.0, and tokens and keys can be generated and copied from the form.
A JDBC connection has a Test button to check it before saving.
The list
ID, Name, Type, Status and the audit columns. Search and column filters run across the whole list, not just the page you are on.
Each row has a Status switch - ACTIVE or INACTIVE - so a connection can be taken out of service without deleting it.
