Connector Specific Configuration Details

Connection Types Supported

1. Regular SFTP Connection
   Standard SFTP connections can be established using basic credentials like host, user, password, and port.

2. SFTP Connection for SAP Concur File Drops (via DDS Service)
   Encryption & Security Requirements:

   Files are encrypted using a PGP key and passphrase. An SSH key is required to establish the SFTP connection.
   PGP Key and Passphrase are necessary for decrypting the downloaded files. The password is optional but
   can be included if available. The private keys are securely stored in Key Vault with line escapes to enhance security.

   Example credentials required for testing:

   Hostname: mft-us2.concursolutions.com
   Username: p0001590rwa7
   Remote path: /out
   Port: 22
   Open SSH key: SFTP-PK-Key
   PGP Private key: SFTP-Decrypt-Key
   PGP passphrase: SFTP-PGP-Passphrase

3. Supported File Types
   The connector supports the following data source formats:

   CSV
   JSON
   PGP
   XLSX
   XLS

4. Mandatory conditions for the SFTP static CSV files:

   1. File Format
      The connector is designed to handle files only in the CSV/JSON format. Ensure all files used or processed by the system are in .csv format for compatibility with the connector.
   2. Use of Separator
      Always use a comma , as the separator in your data files. This ensures consistency and compatibility across different systems and processes.
   3. Encoding Standard
      Ensure that all files are saved and processed using theUTF-8 encoding. This is crucial to maintain character integrity, especially when working with international data or special characters.
   4. File Movement or Renaming
      When you move or rename a file, it is essential to update the associated metadata. This ensures that all references to the file are accurate and that no processes relying on this data are disrupted.
   5. Replacing a File
      If you are replacing a file but not dropping and creating a new one, you can continue to use the same table name. This allows for a seamless transition and minimal disruption to the existing data structure.
   6. Dropping and Creating a New File
      When you drop and create a new file with the same name, it is necessary to update the metadata. This ensures that the system properly references and recognizes the new file, preventing potential issues with outdated information.
