ReadyWorks Connectors allow you to connect to your data sources and synchronize your data into the ETL where you can then aggregate your data sources into a consolidated view in ReadyWorks, and orchestrate outbound actions. The following sections detail the functionality of Connectors.

Key Concepts

Connectors A collection of authentication methods, fields, job fields, and job templates that when instantiated as connections are used to interact with APIs or data sources
Authentication Methods A collection of fields (e.g., username, password, source server, source server port) and authentication scripts that a connector uses to authentication with APIs or data sources
Fields Attributes (e.g., username, password, source server, source server port) associated with authentication methods
Inbound Job Fields Attributes (e.g., job description, job schedule, data selection, destination table) associated with inbound job templates
Outbound Job Fields Attributes (e.g., job description, job schedule, outbound fields, return data fields) associated with outbound job templates
Inbound Job Templates A collection of inbound job fields with defined configuration settings that are used to perform specific operations with APIs or data sources (e.g., pull the Users table from SCCM)
Outbound Job Templates A collection of outbound job fields with defined configuration settings that are used to perform specific operations with APIs or data sources (e.g., create a ticket in ServiceNow)
Connections Instantiation of connectors that are used to interact with APIs or data sources
Inbound Jobs Instantiation of inbound job templates (that have the specific data modified slightly or even completely customized) that are used to perform specific operations with APIs or data sources (e.g., pull the Users table from SCCM)
Outbound Jobs Instantiation of outbound job templates (that have the specific data modified slightly or even completely customized) that are used to perform specific operations with APIs or data sources (e.g., create a ticket in ServiceNow)
Job Schedules Available schedules (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) for executing jobs at a designated frequency
