Connections

A Connector is a piece of software used to move data between specific applications using those applications' APIs. A Connection is the configuration of the parameters required by the Connector to connect to the datastore for a specific application.

For example, the Salesforce Connector connects to the Salesforce API to read and write data. The credentials that allow that Connector to communicate with the Salesforce API are stored in a Connection. Every Connection is named, to help you organize and track your TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect Connections.

A Connection is the configuration, including the login and other parameters, needed to connect to any datastore used by TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect.

From the Connections page, you can view your current Connections, create Connections, modify Connections, delete Connections that are no longer being used by TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect, and reset metadata.

Note: If you are a member of more than one Organization, select a different Organization from the Organization list to see all Connections for that Organization. See Users, Roles, and Organizations Overview for information on changing Organizations.

See the Connectors Guide for information on specific Connectors, such as Salesforce or HubSpot.

OAuth Connections

Some connections where authentication tokens must be refreshed periodically, such as OAuth2 or Azure AD authentication flows, do not support simultaneous use of the connection by more than one process. This includes multiple apps of any type (On schedule, On event, or Data replication) running at the same time, using the same connection, when using a Connect cloud agent or different Connect on-premise agents.

If you are encountering connection errors, the following workaround options are to:

Configure a separate connection with unique credentials, such as Client IDs and Users, for each On schedule or Data replication app.
Set up app schedules that ensure that there are never two apps running that use the same OAuth connection. For example, schedule one app to run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Schedule the second app to run Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Configure separate connections for each flow in an On event app.
