Input connectors Input connectors are the channels through which input jobs are received. You create the input connectors in the Platform, and in the Runtime configuration you specify to which Events to deliver the input jobs. Connector type There are different types of input connectors. Which type to select depends on how the input jobs are retrieved from the source application. For example, if the source application stores output files in a directory, you can use a Directory input connector to retrieve the files from the same directory. Queue You can connect input queues to the input connectors. The input queue stores input jobs before they are processed by the StreamServer.
