Adding connector configurations
You can create connector configurations and then map the configurations to the connector actions in the Process or Rule designer. Mapping is required for exporting the connector configurations across the environments. The connector configurations are tenant-specific.

Is there documentation for removing a connector configuration that is no longer valid?
Hello John,
We cannot delete connector configuration. Hence there is no documentation available for removing a connector configuration.

Can you please add a description on how to actually add connector profiles. In my instance i can't select any and i did not find any hint where to create these profiles.
Hello Mario,
Thank you for your comment. A connector profile is an account created for the connector in BMC Helix Integration Studio. I have added a link to provide more details on creating accounts in BMC Helix Integration Studio.
Thanks, Prachi
Thx for the quick feedback. I checked my versions and i'm still on 20.02. On that version you actually need to make sure you're using the same admin account to configure the connector accounts in BMC Helix Integration Studio which you also use in the Innovation Suite authentication setting. Is this still the case for version 20.08?
Yes, Mario. This applies to version 20.08.
Thanks for the confirmation. Please add a hint to the article as this is a quite uncommon behavior. Imho accounts created in the Integration Studio should always be visible as profiles in the Innovation Studio. It actually did cost me almost around a week of work and most likely it would have been more if one of your Solution Architects didn't help me out.
