Creating a Connector

A Connector lets you configure some basic options for calls to a particular REST API. To create a Connector with the Connector Wizard:

1. Create a REST API Connection for the Connector to use.

2. Navigate to Custom > Connector Wizard. If this option is not available, make sure you have installed the Connector Wizard.

3. Click New. The Create New Connector screen displays.

4. On the Basic Properties screen, enter a Name and choose a Partition for the Connector. It is a Redwood best practice to set a Default Application.

   Note: The Partition and Application you specify for a Connector will become the defaults for all Operations and Process Definitions created within that Connector.

5. Optionally enter the Connection Category of the REST API Connection you want to use. Doing this constrains the list of Connections displayed when you submit a Process Definition that is based on an Operation.

6. Enter the Base URL. By default, all calls will use this base URL, but you can override it in specific Operations.

7. Click Next or Security and configure security for the Connector.
