Update the Generic Connector

This API is used to update an existing Generic Connector.

You must specify all of the properties of the Generic Connector when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn’t merge the existing Generic Connector and your new data. It replaces the existing Generic Connector with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Generic Connector.

Request

Update the Generic Connector by Id

PUT /api/connector/{connectorId}

PATCH /api/connector/{connectorId}

When using the PATCH method, you can either use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request for backward compatibility. Or you may use either JSON Patch/RFC 6902] or JSON Merge Patch/RFC 7396. See the PATCH documentation for more information.

When using the PATCH method with a Content-Type of application/json the provided request parameters will be merged into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.
