Source Applications

A Source Application in Connect represents an external or internal client application that can submit a service request to Advantage Connect. Each Source Application belongs to a single Tenant ID. A Tenant ID may have one or more Source Applications. For every service request received by Connect, it must be able to determine the Source Application.

If an API Manager is being used in front of Connect to secure APIs, a Client Application defined within the API Manager has a one-to-one correspondence with the Source Application defined within Connect.

By default, Connect comes pre-configured with the Internal Source Applications for Advantage Financial, Advantage HRM, and Advantage Admin, which are internal Advantage applications. It also comes pre-configured with a default Source Application (DEFAULT_SOURCE_APP) representing an external client application. All pre-configured Source Applications are assigned to a default tenant.

The Source Applications (CSRCAPP) page displays a list of Source Applications for the current Tenant ID. This page also allows users to create, edit, and view the Source Application for the current Tenant ID.
