4.3.3 Application Data Services Connectors

DFCS includes built-in connectors called Application Data Services (ADS) that help send data to the application database via Connectors. To use this feature, you need to set up a connection between the two cloud systems by entering the required details in the Data Services Subscriptions UI.

The Connectors Summary interface displays connector details in a structured table format, providing insights into their status, source, target catalogs, and mappings.

You can initiate a connection using either of the following methods:

• From the LHS menu, click Catalog → Connectors.
