Cloud Bridge Agent > Connectors
Use this page to perform the following tasks:
By default, the CBA syncs with the CBC to get available new and updated connectors once a day. The update check also runs automatically whenever you restart the CBA.
IMPORTANT:Connector additions, deletions, or updates take effect only when you restart the CBA. Before you restart the CBA, we recommend that you 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.
You can modify the default view of this page as follows:
To search or filter connector data, click the Filter Status button above the table and select the appropriate parameters. Click Reset in the Filter Status dialog box if you want to return to the default display.
To change the sort order of a column, click the column arrow or the column heading.
To pin or autosize a column, click the Column Settings icon.
To add or remove columns, and to autosize columns, click the Table Settings icon above the table. Click Reset in the Table Settings dialog box if you want to return to the default view.
To view the results of the last connector updates at any time, click Last Update Result. We recommend that you click the trashcan icon to delete this information after you have verified that the actions you selected completed successfully.
To add a new connector, click the plus sign (+) icon to view new connectors. Select the connectors you want to install and click Mark for Install. The Add Connector window shows the last date and time when the CBA checked for connector updates. 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.
NOTE:If you want the CBA to check for connector updates more or less often than the daily default, you can change this setting in the <CBA_install_dir>/agent/conf/bridge-agent.yml file.
When there are updates available for installed connectors, a blue arrow icon appears in the left column next to the connectors. You can view information about the available updates by hovering over the arrow. To update the connector, click the arrow. To see all available updates at a glance, click the Filter Status button and select the appropriate option.
If there is a single update available, this action marks the connector for update on the next restart of the CBA.
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.
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 CBA. For more information, see Restarting a Cloud Bridge Agent.
The CBA detects conflicts or duplicates of any installed connector .jar files, and the Dashboard indicates when there is a conflict. You can resolve conflicts as follows:
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 CBA. For more information, see Restarting a Cloud Bridge Agent.
