<section id="genericinterface-connectors">
<title>Connectors</title>
<para>
A Connector is in essence set of actions called Operations if OTRS acts as a
web service provider or Invokers if OTRS acts as a web service
requester. But it can also include special Mappings or Transports
</para>
<para>
One Connector can have only Operations, Only Invokers or both. A connector
can even use parts of other connectors like the Mappings or Transports if
they are not so specific for the Connector that implements them.
</para>
<para>
In another words a Connector is not limited to just the Controller layer but
it can be extended to Data Mapping or Network Transport layers if needed.
</para>
<para>
Due to the modular design of the Generic Interface a Connector can be seen
as a plug-in; this means that by adding Connectors the capabilities of the
generic interface can be extended using: OTRS Feature add ons, OTRS Custom
modules, 3rd Party modules, and so on.

Creates a new new valid SessionID to be used in other operations from other
connectors like TicketCreate.
</para>
<note>
<para>
To use the SessionID in other operations from other connectors is necessary
that the operation implements authentication by SessionID. all the rest of
the bundled operations are capable to accept a valid SessionID as an
authentication method.

<title>Web Service Configuration</title>
<para>
The following is a basic but complete web service configuration file in YAML
format to use all the Ticket Connector operations, in order to use it in
OTRS you need to copy the content, save it into a file called
GenericTicketConnector.yml, and import it into OTRS in the Web Services
screen in the Admin panel by clicking in the "Add web service" action from
the overview screen and then clicking in the "Import web service" action in
the add screen.

It can be also possible to use the Mapping Simple module in order to specify
different values or attribute names and covert them to the required values and

<title>Perl SOAP Requester</title>
<para>
The following code is a Perl script that can connect to OTRS via the generic
interface, to perform the operations provided by the Ticket Connector, it
uses two Perl CPAN modules SOAP::Lite and Data::Dumper, be sure that your
environment is capable to use that modules before you try to run the scipt.
