Develop a Custom Data Connector

Developers can develop and make available to data modelers and users custom data connectors to data providers that do not have a built-in data connector.

A custom data connector is a .Net assembly that can be developed using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. Developers can also develop custom data connectors for data providers that has JDBC drivers only or can be accessed using Javascript.

Below you can find instructions and demos on how to develop all three types of custom data connectors.

Develop a .NET Custom Data Provider choose this if the database you want to connect to has a native .NET driver.

Develop a JDBC Custom Connector choose this if the database has a JDBC drivers only.

Develop a JavaScript Connector A Javascript custom connector enables you to access Web APIs by writing snippets of Javascript.

After developing the custom connector, the developer should publish and send the package of the custom connector to the Wyn Server administrator to deploy it. Data Modelers will then be able to create Wyn data sources using the custom connectors.
