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.

## Connecting to an Applications Platform Tenant (cont.)

The Options tab allows you to set the formats used by your Applications Platform tenant. At the time of writing, the following formats are available:
|  | Send Empty Values to Server — By default, the Applications Platform Connector leaves out XML elements that have empty values. Change this to True to include such elements in the communication.
|  | User Language — At the time of writing, only English is supported. This is a read-only field.
|  | User Date Format — From the drop-down list, select the relevant date format used by your Applications Platform tenant. These must match.
|  | User Collation — When fetching data from the Applications Platform database, you can choose to use case-sensitive queries. For such scenarios, the Applications Platform Connector uses the database collation specified here. If your installation of Applications Platform has a customised database, enter the database collation, else leave this as the default value.
|  | String Cast Type — If a mapped field in Applications Platform is a blob data type, use this option to specify the string-type data type Applications Platform Connector must use instead.
You can change the view of the Options tab:
