Connectors Help

The Connector information here guides you through installing your Connector and configuring it to extract content from your source systems Your Source System is the repository where your data is stored (data to be indexed). This repository is managed by applications such as: - SharePoint O365 - SharePoint 2013/16/19 - Documentum - File Share - OpenText - Lotus Notes - etc. Your Source System repository can also be a database such as SQL or Oracle..

This content is then transmitted to a search engine, such as Azure Search, or Elasticsearch for indexing. For more about Connectors, see What are Connectors?

Framework Applications for Connectors

BA Insight provides two frameworks for its connectors:

  • Connector Framework and Connectivity Hub.

Both applications offer similar options and user interfaces.

  • Connector Framework provides a framework for your BA Insight Connectors to use to interface with SharePoint search indices.

  • Connectivity Hub provides a framework for all non-Sharepoint search indices (Azure search, Elastic search, etc.) to use.

Note: BA Insight Connectivity Hub employs a wizard-style connector setup tool called "Quick Mode" that is unavailable in Connector Framework.
