Creating Connections
You must create connections before using the connectors in a flow. Flogo uses the configuration provided in these connections to connect to the respective app, data sources, systems, or SaaS.
Before you begin You must have valid accounts for the SaaS apps to which you want to connect.
To create a connection, click the
Connections tab on the
Flogo page.
To create a connection using a connector tile:
- If this is the first connection you are creating, click the Create connection link. For subsequent connections, click Create on the Connections page.
- Click the connector tile for which you want to create a connection.
- Follow the instructions to configure the connection when prompted. For details on the connection dialog, refer to the specific connector documentation. You can do so by clicking on the specific connector on the TIBCO Flogo® Connectors page.
By default, a connection is created at the user level but you can promote it to the org level. For more information, refer to Promoting Connections.
Note:
- You can have a maximum of four active Salesforce connections for one user at any time. If you create more than four connections for the same user, the first connection that you created gets deactivated. This limit is enforced by Salesforce.
- Make sure that the pop-up blocker in your browser is configured to always allow pop-ups from an app site. On macOS, clicking the link to the site results in the connection details page hanging, so make sure to select Always allow pop-ups from <site>.
- In some cases, VPN connections configured on TIBCO Cloud™ Integration are not supported when attempting to use TIBCO Flogo® DB Connectors, like Oracle MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and other connectors, which require a connection to on-premises systems. In this situation, you can use the TIBCO Cloud Integration - Hybrid Agent instead.
