Integration Definition
Purpose
The Integration Definition is used to define an integration/project ID and description for the entities or project categories for which you will be using Kourier Integrator. This could be anything from an EDI Trading Partner to a third-party CRM package, to a SQL data warehouse.
The screen is deceptively simple, in that all you enter is an ID and a description for the Integration. However, this ID is used throughout the system to help identify all the other aspects of the integration - Data Source Names and Export Specifications, etc.
You may optionally specify name-value-pairs for the integration. These can be any free-form data values that you care to associate to an integration.
For example, consider an environment where you exchange EDI transactions between several trading partners. By defining a PARTNER value pair in each of your EDI integrations, you could easily write your integration to use this value without having to write a custom screen to store and modify it.
