An Perceptive Enterprise Search federated connector is made up of three parts, the configuration file, the query translator and the response translator.
There is one configuration file per connector; it is a simple XML file that contains the connector properties and the location when the connector is implemented. Perceptive Enterprise Search looks for the connector configuration files in the Perceptive Enterprise Search\WebFederator folder, typically:
C:\Program Files\Perceptive Enterprise Search\WebFederator
Both the query translator and the response translator are implemented in a single dll, written in either .net or languages that support the creation of COM objects. Perceptive Enterprise Search provides .net utility classes that can further assist in creating your connector.
