Creating a TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr Connection

You must create a connection to Apache Solr server from this connector before you can use the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr connector. The Apache Solr connection contains all the parameters required to connect to Apache Solr server instance. The Apache Solr connection is used by all the activities in the Apache Solr category.

Note: Before you create an Apache Solr connection, be sure that you have an active Apache Solr SSL enabled server instance.

To create an Apache Solr connection, click the Connections tab on the Flogo Enterprise page.

If this is the first connection you are adding, do the following:
  1. Click the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr tile.
  2. Enter the values for the fields in the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr connection dialog. See TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr Connection Details topic for a description of the fields.
  3. Click Save.
If you already have an existing connection for any connector in Flogo Enterprise, the connections will be displayed on the Connections page.
  1. Click Add Connection.
  2. Click the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr tile.
  3. Enter the values for the fields in the TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr dialog. See TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Solr Connection Details topic for a description of the fields.
  4. Click Save to save the connection details offline without validating them. The validation to check whether the server is accessible, the user credentials are valid, and the user exists on the Apache Solr server will not be performed. You can use this option in situations where your Apache Solr server is not publicly accessible from the Flogo Enterprise instance.

    Alternatively, click Validate to validate the connection to the Apache Solr instance before saving it. The connection details get validated against the entered information before the connection is saved. If the server is not accessible, or if the user credentials entered are incorrect, an error message is shown at the bottom of the connection dialog.
