External Event Connectors
External event connectors allow forwarding of specific events within the archiving system to external services, such as campus management systems. This can be used to trigger specific actions in external systems, such as storing the path to an archived exam file for a given student inside a student record.
Work in Progress (WIP)
This section is still under active development. Information and specifications can still be changed in the future.
Tasks and Responsibilities
Event Forwarding
Forwards specific events to external systems, such as the successful creation of a new artifact for a student.
- External event connectors primarily transmit information / metadata. Full archive files are primarily transmitted by the respective storage drivers.
Transformation of Data
Transforms internal event data into a format that is understandable by the external system.
Configurability
Allowing independent configuration of the different connectors (e.g., event sensitivity list, API credentials, ...)
Interfaced Components
Implementations
Needs further analysis
An analysis of the currently used campus management solutions and the specific business processes of the target institutions must be conducted to determine a list of relevant external systems to be supported and what APIs to address.
