This is the global view of how a SaaS Application and TioSafe communicate. Access to the SaaS Application is done by an “Integration Site” (this is what we call the connector). An “Integration Site” defines how to connect to the application (protocol, url, identification...) and all methods to call in order to question or update data in the application.
The “Integration Site” is then considered as an ERP5 Site so that it can be synchronized into a real ERP5 Site using the SyncML Protocol. This ERP5 Site is where all data from all applications will be synchronized in the end, and thus it will be used to synchronized data from an application to another one.
The development of a “Connector” consists in creating and configuring an “Integration Site”.
