What is an eMagiz Mendix Connector
In this microlearning, we’ll explore the eMagiz Mendix Connector — a tool designed to streamline the integration between Mendix applications and eMagiz projects. This connector, developed and maintained by eMagiz, simplifies data exchanges, speeds up development, and minimizes potential issues. We’ll cover its key features, including changes in its functionality with Mendix 8 and later versions, and how it eliminates the need for manual controls in Mendix.

1. Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of the eMagiz platform
- Access to a Mendix application
- Access to the Deploy phase of your eMagiz project
2. Key concepts
This microlearning centers around learning what an eMagiz Mendix Connector is
With eMagiz Mendix Connector we mean: A Mendix module developed and maintained by eMagiz that simplifies connecting a Mendix application to an eMagiz project for data traffic between both systems.
Key aspects of the eMagiz Mendix Connector:
- The goal of the module is to simplify the connection between Mendix and eMagiz and therefore enhance the speed of development and reduce the risks of problems
- The Mendix module is developed and maintained by eMagiz
- As of Mendix 8 the inner workings of the module have changed
- No manual actions in Mendix via a Mendix screen are necessary to control the eMagiz parts (as of version 4.2.0)

The eMagiz Mendix Connector is a Mendix module that is developed and maintained by eMagiz that simplifies connecting a Mendix application to an eMagiz project for data traffic between both systems.
Key aspects of the eMagiz Mendix Connector:
- The goal of the module is to simplify the connection between Mendix and eMagiz and therefore enhance the speed of development and reduce the risks of problems

The eMagiz Mendix Connector makes use of Java Actions (Mendix 8 and up) or a web service layer (Mendix 7 and down) to connect Mendix to eMagiz and vice versa. We have changed the connection method to create a process that is better maintainable and easier to realize.
In the remainder of the microlearnings within this module, we will learn how you can install, configure and update your eMagiz Mendix Connector. So stay tuned.
