The connector details page displays a summary of details for each data connector. It consists of two sections:
Connector summary – This section displays details of the connector that you created, such as the provider name, status of the connector, and run frequency. In this section, you can also edit, delete, or run connectors.
Connector runs – This section displays the date, status, and duration of each data connector run in a table. The table shows logs for only the past three days.
Note
-
The connector summary displayed on this page might differ for each data provider.
Superusers automatically have access to all datasets that a connector creates.
Running a data connector
After you’ve created a data connector, you can run it from the connector details page. When a data connector runs, it retrieves all the datasets from the provider and populates them as datasets into the FinSpace web application, which can be accessed with the provided credentials. All datasets created by running a connector are placed in a FinSpace permission group with naming convention as <Connector Name> Group (System Created). You can assign users to this permission group to grant them access.
Note
You can only use a data connector in the environment where you create it.
