The connector holds the unique logic and data for creating assets from a data-source business operation. The connector can connect to the business operation, parse its code, and extract its business fields. Each data source type has a unique connector with a specific connection mechanism and parsing logic.

When the service is created on the OL Hub, the connector logic and connection mechanism are embedded in the generated code. These connector mechanisms come into play in production when the service code translates data consumer API request calls to data source API request calls.
