Deploy the Connector

Once you have created a connector, you can deploy the metadata for that connector to a Provisioning Server.

Note: This procedure assumes that you have created the connector server configuration.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the existing project that contains the metadata you want to deploy.

   Connector Xpress opens the project and displays the metadata in the Edit pane of the Connector Xpress window.

2. In the Provisioning Servers tree, expand the Provisioning Servers node and then choose the server where you want to deploy the connector.

   The Provisioning Server Password Required dialog appears.

3. Complete the fields on the dialog to specify the password for the server, and click then OK.
4. Expand the server, and then right-click Endpoint Types, then click Create New Endpoint Type.

   The Create New Endpoint Types dialog appears.

5. Complete the fields on the dialog to define the name of your new endpoint type, then click OK.

   Note: In some cases, a delay occurs before endpoint management screens are available. To check the status of the screen creation, use View Submitted Tasks in the User Console or configure a workflow process to send an email notification when the deployment completes.

6. Right-click on your new endpoint and select Acquire Endpoint.

   The Create New Endpoint dialog appears.

7. Complete the fields on the dialog to specify the name and password for your new endpoint, then click OK.
8. (Optional) Under the endpoints node, right-click on your new endpoint and choose Explore/correlate endpoint.

   The Explore/Correlate Endpoint dialog appears.

9. Complete the fields on the dialog to specify how Connector Xpress explores and correlates the endpoint, then click OK.

   Connector Xpress deploys the connector to the Provisioning Server.
