Connector vs. connection
An ERP connector is a piece of code that implements one or more of the required interfaces.
- It will generally be the "glue" between SuperOffice and one kind of ERP system (Baan, Dynamics, ...)
- It is a DLL/web service
A connection is a connector + config information
- It points to a particular ERP connector
- Client (if there are multiple client companies in the ERP system)
- Authentication
- Other config info that might be needed to connect
