Obtain Additional Connector Servers

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

Several data connector servers are installed by default in your Symphony environment, but a number of other connector servers are also available. The new connector server can be added via HTTP or Socket protocols. For a complete list of all supported connector servers, see Data Connector Reference.

Obtain one or more of these connector servers

1. Contact Symphony Technical Support. You will receive a yum or apt command that downloads and sets up the connector server in the Symphony environment. After running the command, the connector microservice is installed and enabled in the Symphony environment, allowing it to be discoverable as a new connector microservice.

2. Register the connector server. Connector servers are started and run as separate processes, and accept requests on a specific TCP/IP port. See Register a New Connector Server.

After you have obtained, installed, and registered the connector server, you need to add and enable at least one connector for it. See Define a New Connector and Enable and Disable Connectors.
