Configure Connections

On Schedule App Tutorial

Connections in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect are global and can be used in multiple flows. Connections contain the credentials and instructions needed to access a particular datastore. In this section of the tutorial you learn how to configure Connections to the Sample - Marketing and Sample - CRM databases. These Connections are very simple because they do not require any type of authentication. When connecting to a more complex system, such as Salesforce, there are more detailed connection configuration requirements including access to a Salesforce organization, user credentials, and a security token associated with your Salesforce user.
