The Jitterbit Harmony Dropbox Connector is accessed from the Connectivity tab of the design component palette:
This connector is used to first configure a Dropbox connection, establishing access to an account on the Dropbox server, and then used to configure one or more Dropbox activities associated with that connection as either a source or target within an operation:
-
Fetch File: Retrieves data from a Dropbox connection and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Get File: Lets a user (at configuration time) select from different files associated with a path (a directory) at Dropbox and specify a schema. At runtime, the activity downloads the file and parses it using the specified schema. The activity is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Process File: Retrieves data from a Dropbox connection, processes the file based on a specified schema, and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.
-
Put File: Inserts new data into a Dropbox connection and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.
The Dropbox connector uses the Dropbox Java SDK API. Refer to the SDK documentation for information on the schema fields.
The Dropbox connector requires the use of an agent version 10.0 or higher.
Together, a specific Dropbox connection and its activities are referred to as a Dropbox endpoint. Once a connection is configured, activities associated with the endpoint are available using the Show dropdown to filter on Endpoints:
