Understanding the Components of a Connector

This topic introduces the connector components.

The Connector Code
The code that calls the REST services required of the connector.
The Custom Settings for the Connectors
The connector requires settings to make the connection between the 3DEXPERIENCE app and the SCM service. Minimally, this must include a location, such as a service URL or a file path location. But can also include more specific information about data repositories available on the SCM service. For example, using an API key in the sample Artifactory connector to limit the repositories to those owned by a specific user. Another example is in the built-in Designsync connector, to limit the repositories to those within a specific Module category.
