Technology connectors are internal system components that
provide codeless connection to and from touchpoint systems by using
various protocols, including SMTP, HTTP, and FTP.
About this task
There are two types of technology connectors provided
by
Decision Server Events:
connectors that run within a stand-alone application, and connectors
that run as connector applications within the
WebSphere® Application Server environment:
- The Email, FTP, and User Console connectors run within a stand-alone
application.
- The File System, HTTP, JDBC, JMS, REST, and SOAP connectors run
as Java™ Enterprise Edition (JEE)
applications within the WebSphere Application Server environment.
The event runtime manages the deployment and updating of these connectors.
For details about defining each type of technology connector,
see the information in the following sections.
