--- title: Healthcare - Tasy description: Create and configure connectors in the legacy canvas documentId: ipaas-legacy-connectors-health locale: en-US --- * **Tasy** ## Creating and Editing a Connector To create a connector, follow the steps below: Access the **Connector Manager** screen from the product's left menu or by clicking the card on the Welcome screen. Click **+ NEW CONNECTOR** in the upper right corner of the screen. Select the connector card. A new screen, **Connector Configuration**, will open. Fill in the following connector form fields: In **Name**, enter a name for the connector. In **Version**, specify its version. In **Description** *(optional)*, add a description. Select the environment where you will deploy the connector. Fill in the values for the [required fields](#required-fields) for each connector. Click **CREATE**. If you select both environments, you must fill in the complete data for both to create the connector. To edit the connector, follow the steps below: Click the connector you want to edit. You can change: * The description in the **Description** field. * The selected deployment environment: _staging_ or _production_ (at least one environment must be enabled). * The information in the selected environment's form, even if the connector is being used in an integration flow. When you finish your edits, click **SAVE**. You **cannot** delete a connector while it is being used in any integration. ## Required Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-----------| | Database | The name or identifier of the database instance you want to connect to. | | Host | The hostname or IP address of the server where the database is hosted. This is essential to establish a network connection to the database server. | | Owner | The owner of the database schema or the user who owns the objects within the database. | | Password | The database user's password. | | Port | The port number on which your server is running. | | Role | Sets of privileges that can be granted to users or other roles. Roles can provide additional permissions beyond those granted directly to the user. | | Username | The database username. | | Minimum Idle Connections | Minimum number of connections the pool should keep open even when idle. Default value: 5. | | Maximum Pool Size | Maximum number of simultaneous connections in the pool. Default value: 20.| | Idle Connection Timeout | Time in milliseconds that a connection can remain idle before being removed. Default value: 600000.| For optional fields not filled in, the default value will be applied. ## Configuring a Connector After creating the connector, you must configure it on the **Flow** screen. To do this, follow the steps below: ### Adding the Connector to the Canvas Access the **Integration Flows** screen and select your integration flow. If you want to create a new flow, click **+ NEW FLOW** and access the **Flow** screen. See our tutorial on [how to create your first integration flow](/docs/integrations/ipaas-legacy-create-flow). Click the icon ![hub icon with plus sign](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/connectors_Icon_1f4432d891.png) in the left edit menu. Choose the connector you want. You can use the search bar to find it. Connect it to a previous _step_ if you want to use properties from other _steps_. To copy the _step_, click the button ![copy icon](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/copy_step_icon_fd3cbe733c.png). If the _step_ form is already configured, the settings will also be copied. To delete the connector from the canvas, select it and click the button ![trash icon](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/remove_Icon_486c52eeeb.png). ### Configuring the Form Select the connector on the canvas. Click the edit icon ![pencil icon](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/edit_icon_34464736ca.png). Fill in the following form fields: * **Name**: enter the connector name. * **Connector**: select one of the registered connectors. * **Timeout**: enter the request timeout in milliseconds. By default, the value will be 3000 milliseconds and the maximum value is 60000 ms. By clicking the icon ![list icon](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/properties_icon_2c777edb35.png) to the right of the **Timeout** field, you can filter and display environment variables and the payload of previous _steps_ (if the _steps_ are connected) for use in the timeout configuration. * **Properties**: use environment variables and [properties](/docs/integrations/ipaas-legacy-expression-builder) from previous _steps_ to build your script in **Instruction**. * **Instruction**: create your script by entering input attributes or creating an expression by clicking the button ![fx button](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/function_icon_50715399e6.png) on the right. The Concat function is available for creating the expression. This field uses the native syntax of the protocol the connector provides access to. * **Ignore Errors**: by default, this button is disabled and you can enable it. See more details about the **Ignore Errors** function in the table below: | Enabled ![](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/switch_b7a9c56956.png) | Disabled ![](https://creative-ball-51b3fc85c0.media.strapiapp.com/switch_off_460667d32c.png) | |-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | The flow execution continues even if there are errors in the process. | Execution will be stopped immediately. | | The logs show the _step_ with an error. | The logs show execution up to the _step_ with an error. | | Subsequent _steps_ will be executed. | No subsequent _steps_ will be executed. | Click **SAVE**.
