About the Applications Platform Connector

The Applications Platform Connector tool allows communication between Applications Platform and King Task Centre. All communication uses XML. You use the Connector to map King Task Centre data to Applications Platform objects and operations — see Supported Objects.

The XML responses received back from Applications Platform can be saved to file, or passed to another King Task Centre tool for further processing. The responses can include details of the object requested, any errors, or the values of any automatically generated ID fields.

You can use the Applications Platform Connector to provide an indirect link from your Applications Platform installation to other systems that King Task Centre is connected to. For example, if you make use of the Web Portal in Applications Platform, and have your CRM system connected to King Task Centre, you can make CRM data available to the Web Portal via the Applications Platform Connector.

The diagram below provides a high-level system architectural overview of the Applications Platform Connector with King Task Centre and the Applications Platform tenant:

The Applications Platform Connector must be installed on the same machine hosting the King Task Centre client that runs the Applications Platform Connector tasks.

The Applications Platform Connector communicates with Applications Platform's SOAP web service. It is through this that communication with the Applications Platform tenant is achieved.
