Editor's Notes
- Intro about webinar Intro about team members Everyone will be muted Let’s look at the agenda for the same.
- What is cdk Some CDK basics to look at Scribe Online API Connector Development Deep Dive by Somesh – we will be developing a sample connector where I will need to put Leads into GP from CRM Lastly, Questions and Answers.
- Let’s look at what CDK is.
- CDK is…connector development kit. Scribe provides with the help of which you can develop your own connectors. You need to build your own connector if you want to have a customized interface of how you want to integrate your source and target datastores. Eg. Dynam GP doesn’t expose custom entities in the OOB Dynam GP connector which Scribe provides (this is coming up in 2016 though)… so I want to build my own connector to connect to my custom entities in GP.
- Let’s also look at some CDK basics which we need to know to develop a connector
- Agents – windows service on server to talk to the SOL without disturbing the security of the server. Organization – company using the Scribe Online service to carry out integrations for source and target - Connections – contains information to connect to intended data store, has details like server url, username, pass being most common.
- Scribecloud – windows azure, access using web browser, source- cloud and target-on-prem… Cloud agent for cloud based, windows service as agent on server.
- Let’s look at scribe online API – it has namespaces needed to build your connector.
- Core Connector API– runtime link between scribe online and target technology. Connector API Actions – Connector specific logic and Input and Result objects. Connector API Common – common objects throughout the connector, dataentity Connection UI – objects used in PreConnect() to define GUI Cryptography – encrypt/decryp
- Exceptions – Connector-specific exceptions Logger – Connector Log file Metadata – connector capabilities, IMetadata, to support the design process. Query – request for data by describing objects to be returned & their relationships, fields of interest, constraints of the results. Serialization – serialize and deserialize.

- Thank you Priyesh for your detailed
- PreConnect: PreConnect allows a connector to define the user interface (UI) that users use to create connections. There are two ways to implement Preconnect. We use Preconnect to specify any fields, such as Username, Password, or Database Name, that require user input to connect to your technology. Provision for optional fields on the form. For e.g. Tenant ID Once a connection has been created, Preconnect is only called again if a user re-opens the connection UI to adjust the connection settings. Connect: This method will attempt to connect to the third-party. It will set the IsConnected Flag, if the code is able to connect to the third party successfully. If it is successful, we will see the message on the UI, when we run the Test Connection. Disconnect: This method will attempt to disconnect from the third-party. Disconnect is called to instruct the Connector to close communication from its datastore and free any resources that may be associated with the connection. ExecuteOperation: ExecuteOperation is called by Scribe Online to perform an operation, such as Create, Update, or Delete, on a given data object type, for example, an Lead. Implement as many of these operations as possible, as dictated by your data technology. These operations are passed with the OperationInput object, which describes the details of the operation, such as: matching criteria, fields to map, and other operation details. ExecuteQuery: ExecuteQuery is called by Scribe Online as a request for specific data from the connector. The query object received by this method may include constraint information as well as information about which object or objects are being queried. IsConnected: Gets a value indicating whether the connector is connected to its third-party GetMetaDataProvider: GetMetadataProvider is a required method It is called by Scribe Online to retrieve an active instance of the Object that inherits the IMetadataProvider interface. This allows Scribe Online to access the IMetadataProvider specific methods.
- Thanks. You can reach us on the email addresses. Also, you can follow us on twitter on …. We will post this session tomorrow on youtube.com/cloudfronts Once again, thank you for your time today.
- See you in the next session.
