Interface AssetConsumerConnectorFactoryInterface

public interface AssetConsumerConnectorFactoryInterface

AssetConsumerConnectorFactoryInterface is used by applications and tools as a factory for Open Connector Framework (OCF) connectors. The configuration for the connectors is managed as open metadata in a Connection definition. The caller to the Asset Consumer OMAS passes either the name, GUID or URL for the connection to the appropriate method to retrieve a connector. The Asset Consumer OMAS retrieves the connection from the metadata repository and creates an appropriate connector as described the connection and returns it to the caller.
