ΒΆ Connection in EaConnect
In EAConnect, a connection is a configuration that allows you to establish a connection between EAConnect and external systems or services. It serves as a bridge that enables EAConnect to interact with various data sources, applications, databases, APIs, and other systems.
Connections in EAConnect provide a way to securely store and manage the credentials, configuration details, and authentication mechanisms required to access external systems. They allow you to establish a link between EAConnect and the external systems, enabling data transfer, data transformation, and other actions.
Here is a general overview of connections in EAConnect:
Connection Types: EAConnect supports various connection types to integrate with different systems and services. Some common connection types include database connections (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), cloud service connections (such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage), application connections (such as Salesforce, NetSuite), and more. Each connection type has its own specific configuration parameters and authentication requirements.
Connection Configuration: When creating a connection in EAConnect, you need to provide configuration details specific to the selected connection type. This typically includes connection credentials (such as usernames, passwords, API keys), endpoint URLs, port numbers, and other relevant information.
