Connector files
Provide a connector file along with your Python script and any files you might import with your Python script. This file is placed beside your script and used to associate your custom Python connector with a platform type and define a category and short description. For example, the agtsfrest
agent connector file looks like this:
# KVGROUP-V2.0 agtsfrest = { agent = agtpython.exe; script = agtsfrest.py; category = HRMS; platform = SFREST; description = !!!PLATFORM_SUCCESSFACTORSREST_DESC; system = true; }
In your connector file, since you are writing a Python connector, the agent
key value will always be agtpython.exe
. The script
key value specifies the name of your Python script. The category
key value specifies the category. This is used when grouping your connector in the pulldown menu item when targeting your connector. Allowed categories are as follows:
ATTAP - Application Servers
AVALMON - Availability and Monitoring Software
CRMS - Customer Relationship Management Systems
DB - Database Systems
FLATFILE - Flat File Connectors
HD - Help Desk Systems
HDDENC - Hard Drive Encryption Systems
HR - IT Service Management Systems
HRMS - Human Resource Management Systems
MAIL - Email Systems
NETDEV - Networking Devices
NOS - Network Operating Systems
NR - Network Resource
PKI - Public Key Systems
QUEUE - Queue
SCRIPT - Script
SOCM - Social Media Systems
SSO - Single Sign-On
STORAGE - Storage Systems
TOKEN - Authentication (Token/MFA)
VP - Virtualization Platform
The platform
key value defines a short uppercase name for your platform that will be used internally in the product to uniquely identify your platform. Finally, the description
key value allows you to specify a short description that gets displayed on the pulldown menu item when targeting your connector.
