Learn website.
Typically, in an OL Connect project there is a number of Workflow processes that
communicate with the Connect Server, Database and/or File Store through one or more of the
specially developed OL Connect tasks.
For help on building these Workflow processes see "Workflow processes in OL Connect
projects" on page213 and "OL Connect tasks" on page215.
The OL Connect Server, database and File Store can also be accessed through the REST API,
i.e. in a script. The script could be part of a Workflow process (i.e. a Run Script task), but it could
also be in a web page or portal, which means you could potentially access the OL Connect
Server, database and File Store directly, without having to go through a Workflow process.
The OL Connect REST API gives access to a number of areas including its processes, data
entity management and File Store operations.
These services can be used to perform various interactions with the OL Connect server such
as:
l Upload and manage data files, data mapping configurations and templates in the File
Store.
l Create, manage and find data entities internal to the OL Connect Server.
l Create and monitor processing operations within the OL Connect Server.
For examples and the REST API reference see The Connect REST API CookBook.
Project Wizards
A Project Wizard generates a small Connect solution that is ready to be tested and deployed.
The solution contains a specific Workflow configuration, as well as the Connect templates, data
mapping configurations, and any Job Presets and Output Presets that are used in that
configuration.
This chapter describes the Project Wizards and the projects that they install. It will help you
install, comprehend and customize the projects.
