What is a Connector

A connector is how Impulse is able to connect to a repository. Connectors are used with an endpoint to allows the job to perform the sync. They allow Impulse to pickup content from a repository, transform it into motation, transform from motation into raw data, and then sync that transformed content to the destination repository.

A connector can be custom created and used to extend Impulse's system. There are two different connector types.

1. Source

2. Destination

Source connectors require the ability to pick up content from the repository and transform the content into motation.

Destination connectors require the ability to transform motation to content for a repository and sync the content to that repository.

Connector Levels

Every repository can have two different connectors. Source or destination connectors. A "connector level" determines if a repository has a source connector, or destination connector, or both connectors.

levels

1. Destination connector only

   • Can only sync from motation

   • The endpoint will not pick up and save content into Impulse's motation standard

   • The endpoint will not save content into Impulse

2. Source connector only

   • Can only sync to motation

3. Both source and destination connector

   • Can sync to motation and from motation

Note: If a connector is upgraded from level 1 or level 2 to level 3, you will need to update endpoint configurations that use this connector to include both source and destination properties. Without updating to include both source and destination properties, you will not be able to use the endpoint to have all functionality in Impulse. i.e., diff reporting requires level 3 destination endpoints with both source and destination config.
