Google Search connector

Summary

The Google Search connector establishes access to Google Search.

The Google Search connector provides an interface for creating a Google Search connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Google Search activities. These activities, once configured, interact with Google Search through the connection.

The Google Search connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with private agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Connection documentation

In addition to the Google Search connection, see the comprehensive Google Search connection details page. Configuration details such as these are included on that page:

  • Getting Started: Initial steps for establishing a connection.
  • Advanced Features: User-defined views and SSL configuration.
  • Data Model: The data model that the connector uses to represent the endpoint.
  • Advanced Configurations Properties: Properties that can be defined to configure a connection for both basic and advanced configurations.

Activity documentation

Together, a specific Google Search connection and its activities are referred to as a Google Search endpoint:

Google Search activity types

  • Query: Retrieves records from a table at Google Search and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Execute: Executes a procedure at Google Search and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

Prerequisites and supported API versions

The Google Search connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

This connector requires the use of a private agent.

Refer to the endpoint documentation for information on the schema nodes and fields.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Google Search connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging for private agents to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.verbose.logging.GoogleSearch" level="TRACE"/>

  5. Check the agent logs for more information.
