Before you define connections for the streaming ingestion and Replication tasks, ensure that you have a license for the required connectors for your source and target types. Connections provide access to data in cloud and on-premises applications, platforms, databases, and flat files. Connection definitions include the location of the source or target, the runtime environment, and the other properties specific to the connection type.
Before you can create a connection, ensure that the correct connectors for your sources and targets are available in Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) Services. The supported connectors vary by type of ingestion task. To create a connection or search for an existing connection, use the Administrator service. After you configure connection properties, the connection becomes available for use within the organization.
