AI Connector

AI connectors are designed to connect to a number of AI models that expose a REST API. The supported list is below.

Key Capabilities

Multi-provider AI integration
Flexible prompt engineering
Customizable AI model selection
Structured output control
Intelligent content processing

Overview

The CData Arc AI connector is a flexible integration tool that connects to any AI model via REST APIs, enabling you to process input messages using configurable system and user prompts to generate structured outputs within your data flows. It supports popular AI services like OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, and other OpenAI-compatible providers, with full control over API endpoints, models, and parameters. With ArcScript-enabled prompts and customizable output formats, the connector enables use cases such as extracting insights from unstructured feedback, translating content across languages, and transforming text data into actionable structured information.

Actions

Connector Configuration

This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.

AI Config Tab

If you have not already configured the global AI settings at Settings > Advanced > AI Settings, the AI Config tab displays a message that you must do this before you can use the connector. Click the Configure AI Settings button, and follow the instructions in AI Settings. If the global settings have already been configured but you want to override them in this connector, click Edit. To override the global settings, toggle on Override global setting. Now you can select which AI provider you want to use, enter the appropriate connection details and then save the configuration. The connector supports the following providers:

Claude
Deepseek
Gemini
Grok
Ollama (cloud and local)
OpenAI
OpenAI Compatible (any AI provider that implements OpenAI’s API)

Use the Edit AI Settings pane to define the Base URL (only available when the provider is Ollama or OpenAI Compatible), add the provider’s API Key, and select a Model. To populate the User Prompt field, you can click Suggested Prompts to see a set of predefined prompts for a variety of use cases, or you can enter your own prompt directly into the field. This is where you define the task or request that you want the connector to perform when it receives a file. For example, you could enter something like Summarize the inbound EDI X12 file using natural language so that employees who are not familiar with the EDI X12 structure can read the summary and understand what information the document contains. This field supports ArcScript. You can also choose to Attach input messages to requests. This is especially useful when you are providing binary files (such as a PDF or image) to the AI provider. To include non-binary files in the request, you need to use _message.body in your prompt, like this:

<BEGIN FILE>
[_message.body]
<END FILE>

See the Summarize option in the Suggested Prompts dropdown for a complete example.

Toggle System Prompt to provide a set of specific instructions, constraints, languages, or roles that the AI provider should use when providing its response. For example: Do not use any em dashes or emojis in your response. This field also supports ArcScript. The way in which you test your configuration and prompts varies by the connector’s action type:

If your connector is a trigger, click the Test button.
If your connector is a transform or terminal, on the Testing tab, paste content into the Input Body or use the dropdown to add Headers and values, then click the Test button.

In both cases, the test results appear in the Testing tab. Logs from the test are displayed in the Log tab.

Settings Tab

Settings related to the core configuration of the connector.

Configuration

Setting	Description
Connector Id	The static, unique identifier for the connector.
Connector Type	Displays the connector name and a description of what it does.
Connector Description	An optional field to provide a free-form description of the connector and its role in the flow.
Action	The action this connector is performing: trigger, transform, or terminal.
Output in JSON	If your model supports structured outputs, check this to deliver the connector output in JSON format. This is useful when you want to ensure the AI output is structured and machine-readable, so it is easier to parse, extract data, or use in downstream connectors and processes.

Advanced Settings

Setting	Description
Local File Scheme	A scheme for assigning filenames to messages that are output by the connector. You can use macros in your filenames dynamically to include information such as identifiers and timestamps. For more information, see Macros.

Advanced Tab

Other Settings

Setting	Description
Timeout	The AI response timeout, in seconds. By default, this value is set to 60 seconds.

Proxy Settings

これらは、接続のルーティング先となるプロキシを識別し認証するための一連の設定です。デフォルトでは、このセクションはSecurity Settings ページのProxy Settings 部分にあるグローバル設定を使用します。チェックボックスをオフにすると、コネクタ固有の設定を指定できます。

設定	説明
Proxy Type	プロキシベースのファイアウォールで使用されるプロトコル。
Proxy Host	プロキシベースのファイアウォールの名前またはIP アドレス。
Proxy Port	プロキシベースのファイアウォールのTCP ポート。
Proxy User	プロキシベースのファイアウォールで認証するために使用するユーザー名。
Proxy Password	プロキシベースのファイアウォールで認証するために使用するパスワード。
Authentication Scheme	デフォルトのNone のままにするか、次の認証スキームのいずれかを選択します：Basic、Digest、Proprietary、またはNTLM。

Logging

ログの作成と保存を制御する設定です。

設定	説明
Log Level	コネクタが生成するログの詳細度です。サポートを依頼する際は、これをDebug に設定してください。
Log Subfolder Scheme	選択した間隔に従って、コネクタがLogs フォルダ内のファイルをグループ化するよう指示します。Weekly オプション（デフォルト）は、コネクタが毎週新しいサブフォルダを作成し、その週のすべてのログをそのフォルダに保存するよう指示します。この設定を空白のままにすると、コネクタはすべてのログをLogs フォルダに直接保存します。多数のトランザクションを処理するコネクタでは、サブフォルダを使用することでログを整理しやすくなり、パフォーマンスが向上します。
Log Messages	処理したファイルのログエントリにファイル自体のコピーを含めるには、これをオンにします。これを無効にすると、Transactions タブからファイルのコピーをダウンロードできなくなる場合があります。

Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous 設定は、特定のユースケース向けの設定です。

設定	説明
Other Settings	非表示のコネクタ設定をセミコロン区切りのリストで設定できます（例：`setting1=value1;setting2=value2`）。通常のコネクタのユースケースや機能では、これらの設定の使用は必要ありません。

Automation Tab

Automation Settings

Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.

Setting	Description
Send	Whether files arriving at the connector are automatically uploaded.
Retry Interval	The amount of time before a failed upload is retried.
Max Attempts	The maximum number of times the connector processes the input file. Success is measured based on a successful server acknowledgement. If you set this to 0, the connector retries the file indefinitely.
Receive	Whether the connector should automatically poll the remote download path for files to download.
Interval	The interval between automatic download attempts.
Minutes Past the Hour	The minutes offset for an hourly schedule. Only applicable when the interval setting above is set to Hourly. For example, if this value is set to 5, the automation service downloads at 1:05, 2:05, 3:05, etc.
Time	The time of day that the attempt should occur. Only applicable when the interval setting above is set to Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Day	The day on which the attempt should occur. Only applicable when the interval setting above is set to Weekly or Monthly.
Minutes	The number of minutes to wait before attempting the download. Only applicable when the interval setting above is set to Minute.
Cron Expression	A five-position string representing a cron expression that determines when the attempt should occur. Only applicable when the interval setting above is set to Advanced.
Start Date and Time	The date and time at which the automation first runs. Every run after that follows the interval setting above. The last and next run times appear in the Automation Status section.

Automation Status

Alerts Tab

SLAs Tab

Transactions Tab

This tab lists all messages associated with the connector. Use the search bar to find specific messages, or click the funnel icon to apply a filter. You can filter by time, message direction, and/or status. Options on this tab vary depending on the connector’s action type:

If your connector is a Trigger, use the Receive Files button to start the flow.
If your connector is a Transform or Terminal, use the Upload Files button to upload files to the flow.
