Communication Log

Connector service can log all request that you can inspect from Communication Log page. Setup can be changed

In production configurations logging could be disabled to optimize Connector performance.

What happens when you add new IFS Cloud configuration

1. After you save configuration and Design time authentication is correct, OData Connector service will automatically start loading all available projections from IFS. It may take few minutes to have the projection list ready. After initial upload all available projections can be browsed in

   
2. After adding new configuration Re-register each Flow Server using new OData Configuration.

OData Connector service will refresh projection list from IFS on regular basis (every hour?) to find new projections.

Deleting and modifying configurations

1. When you remove a configuration, it is not automatically deleted from flow server. You must Unregister one OData Connector from the flow server by executing Unregister. Notice that all OData connectors are removed.

   
2. Re-register the flow server in OData Connector and all connectors are restored to flow server.

3. If you modify configuration name, Re-rgister the Flow server.
