Adding an output connector to the Platform

You can create a connector from scratch, or you can copy-paste an existing connector.

Generic Platform layer

The number of output connectors in a Platform must be the same for all physical layers. This means you must add output connectors to the generic Platform layer.

Output connector categories

The output connector is added to the generic Platform layer. In each physical layer, you must select the appropriate connector type, and configure the corresponding settings. It should be possible to select different connector types in each layer, but the connector types must belong to the same category. For example, it should not be possible to use a File output connector in the Development layer and a Fax Connect output connector in the Production layer. The output connectors are therefore divided into the following categories:

•	MailOUT-dependent – enables selection of the connector types Mapi for MailOUT, SMTP (MIME) for MailOUT, and Topcall in the physical layers.

•	SMS – enables selection of the connector types SMS and SMS Provider in the physical layers.

•	Fax Connect – enables selection of the connector type Fax Connect in the physical layers.

•	Post-processor Repository – enables selection of the connector type Post-processor repository in the physical layers.

•	Generic – enables selection of all other types of connector types in the physical layers.
