Discover Schemas and Browsing Data

The configuration tab of the Connectors  always contain an Attribute tab (screenshot).  This can be used to discover the Attributes the configured Connector can access. 

It is also a way of telling the Admin Tool what attributes are available from the Connector: You will later be able to push the Select button under the Attribute  Map tab and just map the Raw Connector attributes into the work entry. (See Attribute Mapping)

Query Schema is only supported by certain Connectors:  Data Sources like LDAP and SQL typically have a schema.  

Data Browsing can be done by most Connectors. The exceptions are 

  • File Connectors in output mode (which will destroy your file as it tries to recreate it)
  • Connectors that will wait for data after the last entry has been found:  Depending on your timeout, you will never manage to browse past the 'end' of the data.  Such an example is the Netscape Changelog Connector.

When you say Connect, certain datasources (like MS Access) might lock the data-source for you.  You should therefore be careful to close the connection after having browsed data or queried a schema.
