4.5.2.6. Deleting Connectors & Keeping Channels
Connector allows to have a simplified layer above channels, and ease the integration of suppliers/buyers. However, it can happen that some suppliers/buyers have really specific needs and would like to customize some specific part of the connector (for example the transformation from PDF to UBL if we take the example of PDF2XML).
Once the connector has been deployed and that the underlying channels have been created and deployed as well, there is a button “Delete connector and keep channels”. This will remove the link to the connector but keep all channels that were created by the connector.
Be careful when doing so because you will not benefit from the two main advantages of connectors:
- You do not benefit anymore from automatic update of the connector definition
- There is no way to revert and to link the channels back to the connector
