Before setting up import or export jobs in DJUST, you must configure a Client Connection to securely communicate with your external systems—via FTP or REST API.

This is a requirement to configure a Job to import or export data.

🌐 Client Connection Description

A Client Connection allows you to:

Set up authentication credentials (e.g., FTP login/password, API OAuth tokens)
Define technical parameters (e.g., base URL, port, headers, access token URLs)
Reuse this configuration across multiple jobs (no need to re-enter credentials for each new job)

💡
One Client Connection for multiple jobs
Each Client Connection is created once and can be linked to multiple import or export jobs, making job setup faster and more consistent.
