Epicor Prophet 21 Connector¶
Summary¶
The Jitterbit Harmony Epicor Prophet 21 Connector establishes access to Epicor Prophet 21.
The Epicor Prophet 21 connector provides an interface for creating an Epicor Prophet 21 connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Epicor Prophet 21 activities. These activities, once configured, interact with Epicor Prophet 21 through the connection.
The Epicor Prophet 21 connector is accessed from the design component palette's Connectivity tab (see Connectors in Design Component Palette).
Connector Overview¶
This connector is used to first configure an Epicor Prophet 21 connection. Activity types associated with that connection are then used to create instances of activities that are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).
Together, a specific Epicor Prophet 21 connection and its activities are referred to as an Epicor Prophet 21 endpoint:
-
Query: Queries object data in Epicor Prophet 21 and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Upsert: Updates existing object data and/or creates new object data in Epicor Prophet 21 and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
-
Create: Creates object data in Epicor Prophet 21 and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
-
Update: Updates object data in Epicor Prophet 21 and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
Note
This connector is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.
