IBM TechXchange Conference 2024 Session 1192 - Developing a Custom Connector for Use in App Connect

By Brian Wilson posted 27 days ago

  

Have you ever run into the need to integrate with some offering that we do not currently have an out-of-box connector?

You're in luck! Join me at the TechXchange Conference this year at a hands-on lab where you can build a customer connector using our free Connector Development Kit (CDK). To help our customers and partners remain competitive in their digital-first strategy, we provide a CDK on the web to allow them to build custom connectors and use them rapidly with App Connect Enterprise. The CDK provides a low code development environment to simplify the creation of connectors.

The IBM Connector Development Kit is a UI-based development kit that allows you to create a connector in your browser without code. CDK provides an intuitive and guided user experience to build and test your connector. Once you have completed your connector development, CDK allows you to download your connector as a private/custom connector OR allows you to publish your connector as a community connector for others to use.

You will learn how easy it is to use the CDK, building a custom connector for a SaaS solution without a current connector, and then use that connector in an App Connect integration flow. You can use these skills to build a connector for hundreds of other applications that do not currently have pre-built connectors.

Top 3 things you will learn:

  • What the IBM Automation Explorer offers
  • How to use the CDK to build a custom connector
  • How to use custom connectors in App Connect
