Create a provider in Sitecore
In Sitecore, a variety of templates and items must be created and configured for the provider. The Data Exchange Framework SDK automates much of this.
To create a provider:
-
In Sitecore, open the Content Editor.
-
To enable the Data Exchange SDK tab on the menu ribbon, right-click on the ribbon and select Data Exchange SDK.
-
On the ribbon, on the Data Exchange SDK tab, click Create Provider.
-
In the Create Provider dialog, enter File System and click OK.
A progress box displays while Sitecore creates and configures the following templates and items in the Sitecore database:
-
/sitecore/templates/Branches/DataExchange/Providers/FileSystem
-
/sitecore/templates/DataExchange/Providers/FileSystem
-
/sitecore/system/Settings/Rules/InsertOptions/Rules/DataExchange-FileSystemProvider
The progress box disappears when Sitecore has created the provider.
