3.4.2.1.2 Edit Custom Connector

This section explains how to edit an existing custom connector to extend its functionality in DFCS.

1. From the Application Connectors page, locate the connector you want to modify.
2. Use the search or filter options (by Connector Name, Source Catalog, Target Catalog, or Created By) to quickly find your connector.
3. Each connector entry displays its status (e.g., Validated, Published), catalog information, and the number of seeded mappings.

   Example: UITest_Stage Asset - Cards, Profitability and Balance Sheet Management v25.6.1 → Foundation Catalog for Banking v25.9.1.

4. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to the connector you wish to edit.
5. From the menu, select Edit. This opens the Edit Connector wizard.
6. The Edit Connector wizard consists of six steps, displayed on the right panel:
   1. Edit Connector
   2. Key Business Terms
   3. Direct Mapping
   4. Variable Mapping
   5. Expression
   6. Review
7. Upload Custom Connector Data File
   1. In the Edit Connector step:
      • The Connector Name and Base Connector Name fields are auto-populated and read-only. Example:
        • Connector Name: UITest_Stage Asset – Cards
        • Base Connector Name: Stage Asset – Cards
   2. Under Upload custom connector data file, click Select a custom connector data file (xlsx) or drag and drop the Excel file into the upload box.
      • The file must follow the Custom Connector template format (.xlsx), downloaded file. It is not the generic Connector Extension Template.
8. After making necessary edits and reviewing mappings, the connector’s status updates to Validated.
9. To finalize, click the three-dot menu (⋮) beside the connector entry and select Publish Connector to make it available for use.
