Configuring a Data Connector


Data Connectors can access properties from Data Connector Configurations in the Verj.io Runtime Environment. Data Connector Configurations are added to the Data Connector section of the Verj.io Administration Application.

A Data Connector Configuration can consist of any number of properties that a Data Connector can use to interact with a web service.

Typically, a Data Connector requires the URL of the web service it interacts with along with an identifier, for example, an API key. Instead of adding this information to the Data Connector itself, this information is usually added as Properties to a Data Connector Configuration. Different Verj.io Runtime Environments can be configured with different values for these properties, for example, to connect to test and production systems as appropriate.

When deployed to the Verj.io Runtime Environment a Data Connector will automatically use the properties in the Data Connector Configuration in that environment.
