Modular Connectors Management

This page describes how to deploy and undeploy a modular connector.

Modular connectors are deployed automatically when a modular connector data source is created. Some modular connectors depend on others. Base connectors are automatically deployed together with dependent modular connectors.

Automatical deployment of modular connectors on modular connector data source creation available since v4.5

The following command can be used to check if a connector is already deployed:

SQL

SELECT "deployed" FROM "SYSADMIN.ModularConnectors" WHERE "name" = '<modular connector name>';;

SYSADMIN.deployModularConnector

This procedure deploys a modular connector to the Server. It supports the $NOFAIL option, which prevents throwing error messages in case of failure. For more details, please see OPTION Clause.

SQL

SYSADMIN.deployModularConnector(IN name string NULL, IN deploy boolean NOT NULL, IN translator string NULL, IN version integer)

Parameter	Description
`name`	Name of the modular connector to be deployed. it's mandatory to set either `name` or `translator` parameter
`deploy`	A modular connector will be deployed if set to `TRUE` and otherwise undeployed
`translator`	Translator name of the modular connector to be deployed. it's mandatory to set either `name` or `translator` parameter
`version`	Modular connector version

translator and version parameters of SYSADMIN.deployModularConnector are available since v4.5

To deploy a modular connector, set deploy to TRUE and provide either name or translator:

SQL

CALL "SYSADMIN.deployModularConnector"(
    "name" => '<modular connector name>',
    "deploy" => TRUE
);;

To undeploy a modular connector, just set deploy to FALSE:

SQL

CALL "SYSADMIN.deployModularConnector"(
    "name" => '<modular connector name>',
    "deploy" => FALSE
);;

Some modular connectors depend on others and require base connectors to be deployed first. If a base connector is not deployed, the Server will fail to deploy the dependent connector.
