Source Connectors

Source Connectors

A source connector is a connector which is in charge of fetching data from a source and pushing it through to the translation layer which will move it into a collection.

Title

text field – You can use any text here which will label the source connector, you will see this on the transaction page as well.

Active

Yes/No toggle – This turns the connector on and off. If it is on it has the ability to run which can be done via poling or webhook trigger. If it is off, it will not run regardless of if a trigger is used.

Polling

Yes/No toggle – When marked yes, you will be able to set the date and time of the next run and then set the intervals in minutes before the next polling process will happen. If no values are entered here, the system is set to pole every 30 seconds (This is a default setup in the config but can be adjusted – this can be found in the microservices configuration: - name: Backlog__Dispatcher__Cron value: 0/30 * * * * *). Another important note is that if the process is already running in hangfire and a process gets asked to run again, it will be discarded. This avoids two of the same processes running at the same time.
