Concepts

Learn about the assets that you create and the services and concepts that you use in this tutorial.

Service Connector: A service connector interacts with services in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services, within a firewall, or anywhere in the cloud, if the service has an exposed API. In this tutorial, you do not create a service connector from scratch. Instead, you import a Swagger JSON file to create a service connector. You also import a complete service connector.
Connection: A connection defines the configuration to connect to a service connector. The service connector may be a built in connector like JDBC or one that you create, like the Calculator service connector in this tutorial. To use the service connector in a process, you must first create a connection and then add the connection to the process.
Process: A process is a set of instructions that automate a business requirement. Use process steps to configure a process to run tasks in sequence, obtain information using complex XQuery, take decisions based on some criteria, and much more.

Fault Handling: Fault handling refers to configuring the process to account for an exception or an unanticipated condition that occurs during the process flow. With fault handling, a predictable result always occurs.

Application Integration: Application Integration is an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services service that you can use to perform API-based integration, event processing, and service and process orchestration.

Application Integration Console: Application Integration Console is an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services service that you can use to perform detailed monitoring and debugging for invoked process instances.
API Manager: API Manager is a cloud-based service that an organization uses to manage the APIs for enterprise services and processes built in Application Integration.
