Connectors
This documentation describes the connectors and how they are used.
- Introduction to the connector wizard
  The Link connector wizard provides an easy way to create REST-based adapters, or connectors, within the user interface, without having to write code or use additional tooling.
- Service based adapters
  Service based adapters are created by referencing a service definition that defines REST endpoints. Endpoints defined in the service become operations of the adapter, and the parameters of the service and its endpoints become the properties of the adapter.
- Flow based connectors
  Flow based connectors are created by referencing a project that contains Link flows.
- Flow and service based connectors
  Connectors that use both flows and services are created by referencing a project that contains Link flows, and a service defiition that defines REST endpoints.
- Hand coded adapters
  Link adapters can be implemented in Java or C/C++. The connector wizard can be used to create the adapter descriptor that is required to expose the properties and operation of the adapter to Link.
- Connector wizard functionality
  The connector wizard provides capabilities from the connectors page of the user interface.
- Connector properties
  Connector properties allow you to configure a connector.
  - Property attributes
    The attributes of properties are defined in this documentation.
  - Property values
    A fixed set of values can be specified for a property. Each value has a label and a value.
  - Property enablement
    Property enablement expressions determine whether the property is displayed, based on the value of other properties.
- Operations
  Operations provide a convenient way for you to set the properties of a connector. Selecting an operation automatically configures one or more properties to simplify your experience.
- Schema mapping
  Certain applications that use Link require that connectors define a schema mapping.

Property values

A fixed set of values can be specified for a property. Each value has a label and a value.

The label is displayed in the user interface and can be translated into various native languages. The value is stored when the properties are saved.

Property values are defined by selecting Values in the context menu next to the property name in the table.
