OpenText™ Cloud Bridge Agent > Connectors
Use this page to perform the following tasks:
This section provides steps for performing tasks using the default table layout. If you are using the tile layout, click the More Actions menu on any tile to perform actions specific to that connector, such as editing or deleting that connector, canceling a pending action, resolving a connector conflict, or upgrading a connector.
By default, the Agent synchronizes with the OpenText™ Cloud Bridge Client to get new and updated connectors once a day. The update check also runs automatically whenever you restart the Agent.
IMPORTANT:Connector additions, deletions, or updates take effect only when you restart the Agent. Before you restart the Agent, as a best practice you should view all pending actions to verify that they are still appropriate. If you no longer want to perform a particular action, click the Cancel icon next to the connector, then confirm at the prompt.
To view the results of the last connector updates at any time, click Last Update Result. OpenText recommends that you click the trashcan icon to delete this information after you have verified that the actions you selected have completed successfully.
To add a new connector:
Click the plus sign (+) icon to view available connectors.
The Add Connector window shows the last date and time when the Agent checked for connector updates.
(Conditional) If you do not see an expected connector listed in this window, you can click the Sync icon to force a refresh of the list.
Select one or more connectors that you want to install and click Mark for Install.
When you are ready to install the connectors, restart the Agent. For more information, see Restarting the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent.
NOTE: If you want the Agent to check for connector updates more or less often than the daily default, you can change this setting in the <Agent_install_dir>/agent/conf/bridge-agent.yml file. Under the notification: section, locate the connectorUpdateCheckInterval entry and specify a value that represents the appropriate number of days between update checks.
When there are updates available for installed connectors, an X UPDATES AVAILABLE indicator appears above the table or tiles. To see all available updates at a glance, click the indicator.
A blue arrow icon also marks each affected connector. You can view information about the available updates by hovering over the arrow.
To update a connector:
Click the blue arrow icon.
If there is a single update available, this action marks the connector for update on the next restart of the Agent.
If there is more than one update available, a window opens that allows you to select the version of the connector that you want. Select the appropriate version and click Mark for Update.
When you are ready to apply the updates, restart the Agent. For more information, see Restarting the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent.
To delete an installed connector, select the checkbox for the connector in the left column, then click the trashcan icon. The deletion does not actually occur until you restart the Agent. For more information, see Restarting the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent.
The Agent detects conflicts or duplicates of any installed connector .jar files. The Dashboard indicates when there is a conflict and the Connectors tab also marks conflicting connectors with a red icon.
To resolve connector conflicts:
On the Connectors tab, locate the connectors that display the same red icon in the left column, or click the Filter Status button and select the appropriate option.
Click any of the conflict icons to view details of the duplicate connectors, select the connector you want to keep, then click Resolve.
The Conflict Resolution window closes, and each of the connectors to be deleted has a red icon with an X in the left column.
(Conditional) If you change your mind about the connector you want to keep:
Cancel a deletion by clicking the red icon with the X for the connector you want to keep, then click Yes.
This action reverts the connectors to a conflicted state.
Click one of the conflict icons again, select the connector to be retained, then click Resolve.
When you are ready to complete the selected actions, restart the Agent. For more information, see Restarting the OpenText Cloud Bridge Agent.
