How you Deploy a Connector

The following describes two ways to deploy a connector:

• Use the Connector Xpress and connector metadata to map the generic DYN schema to an endpoint system. The metadata for the connector information is sent to a running Java CS through the Provisioning Server.

  Note: A Java CS restart is not required for the connector to become active.

• Deploy a custom Java connector to the Java CS by copying the connectors jcs-connector-*.jar file and any additional .jar files it depends on to the jcs-home/lib/ directory, and then restart the Java CS. Use the Provisioning Manager to acquire endpoints managed by this connector.

  Note: See the Programming Guide for Java Connector Server for more information.

When the Java CS is used with the Provisioning Server, the latter acts as the persistent store for connector metadata, therefore the Java CS is stateless.
