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.
