Connector Development Basics

To develop your own TIBCO Scribe® Connectors, use Microsoft .NET tools and technologies.

Each Connector consists of two basic components:

• The Connector itself, which is installed and runs on the TIBCO Scribe® Agent.
• A User Interface (UI) component, which can collect connection information from the user.

A minimal Connector requires that you implement two interfaces, requiring a total of 16 combined properties and methods. Connector developers have access to a dynamically generated user interface, which creates a UI similar to the following example. Each Connector uses the PreConnect method to generate an interface similar to the following example.
