• Key Concepts: 
  A connector is a component of the SAP Enterprise Portal Visual Composer (EP-VC) that allows users to connect two or more applications together. Connectors are used to create a bridge between applications, allowing data to be shared and exchanged between them. Connectors can be used to integrate different applications, such as SAP ERP and SAP CRM, or to connect different parts of the same application, such as the SAP Business Suite.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a connector in EP-VC, users must first create a connection between two applications. This is done by selecting the “Connect” option from the EP-VC menu. Once the connection is established, users can then select the type of connector they wish to use. Depending on the type of connector chosen, users may need to provide additional information such as authentication credentials or connection parameters. Once the connector is configured, users can then begin exchanging data between the two applications.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a connection between two applications using a connector, it is important to ensure that all authentication credentials and connection parameters are correct. This will ensure that data is exchanged securely and without any errors. Additionally, it is important to remember that connectors are only able to exchange data between two applications; they cannot be used to create new data or modify existing data.
