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
URI
{connectorId}
URI
{connectorId}
Available since 1.39.0
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.
Available since 1.12.0
When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request.
The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters 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.
Request Parameters
The Id of the Connector to update.
Request Body
The fully qualified URL used to send an HTTP request to authenticate the user.
The connect timeout for the HTTP connection, in milliseconds. Value must be greater than 0
.
An object that can hold any information about the Connector that should be persisted.
Determines if debug should be enabled to create an event log to assist in debugging integration errors.
An object that can hold HTTPHeader key and value pairs.
The basic authentication password to use for requests to the Connector.
The basic authentication username to use for requests to the Connector.
The unique Connector name.
The read timeout for the HTTP connection, in milliseconds. Value must be greater than 0
.
The Id of an existing Key. The The X.509 certificate is used for client certificate authentication in requests to the Connector.
This field must be set to Generic
