Adding a custom connector to DataBridgeAgent
Process Mining
Last updated Oct 17, 2024
Adding a custom connector to DataBridgeAgent
DataBridgeAgent is a standalone package that can be used to extract data from your source system for use in Process Mining. It contains the UiPath® Process Mining build and the on-premises connector used to prepare the dataset. Currently, the following on-premises connectors (
.mvp
) are included in DataBridgeAgent:
- SAP Connector for Purchase-to-Pay Discovery Accelerator;
- SAP Connector for Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator;
If you want to use your own custom connector, you can add it to DataBridgeAgent. In this case, you need to configure DataBrigdeAgent for use with your connector.
Note: If you use DataBridgeAgent 2022.4.1 to upload data for TemplateOne-SingleFile, make sure that the output table of the
.mvp
connector that is used is named Event_log_raw
. If you use DataBridgeAgent 2022.4.1 to upload data for TemplateOne-MultiFiles, make sure that the output tables of the .mvp
connector that is used are named Event_log_raw
, Cases_raw
, (optional) Tags_raw
, and (optional) Due_dates_raw
.
Note: The information in the guide is only applicable for DataBridgeAgent 22.4.1 or higher.
It is assumed that you have:
-
a connector
.mvp
file. If the.mvp
is dependent on files in the server data or on files in the workspace, these should also be added to DataBridgeAgent.- Server data files you should put in the
server data
directory. - Workspace data you should put next to the
.mvp
.
- Server data files you should put in the
-
a Process Mining on-premises (standalone) installation to:
- determine the application code of module of the connector. See Modules. The application code must be specified in the
connectorModule
field in thedatarun.json
file. See Step 4 in the table below. - verify that the connector is set up correctly, i.e. the correct tables are set to be an output table.
- determine the application code of module of the connector. See Modules. The application code must be specified in the
Follow these steps to add a custom .mvp connector to DataBridgeAgent.
- Go to the
workspaces/Connector
directory. -
Create a new directory for the new connector.
Note: The name you give this directory will be the value you have to fill in for connectorWorkspace.See the illustration below.
- Copy the
.mvp
connector file in the new directory. -
Edit the
datarun.json
, and fill in the connectorWorkspace and the connectorModule that correspond to themvp
connector. See the illustration below. - If not done, and if the recommendation above is followed, complete the rest of the
datarun.json
file with the extraction settings.
