Connect a PLOSSYS 5 System¶

For connecting a PLOSSYS 5 system as backend system for SEAL Operator, execute the following steps:

Activate the Connector and Specify the Keys for the Connection¶

In SEAL Operator, activate the connector and specify the keys for the connection:

Export the complete configuration of SEAL Operator from Consul to a YAML file in order to ensure that the current configuration settings are used.
```
operator config export <filename>.yml --insecure
```

In the section of the PLOSSYS 5 (p5) connector, set cstatus to on. The Fileupload (scratch) connector has to be activated as well.

operator:
  connectors:
    ...
      p5:
        cstatus: 'on'
        serviceName: operator-p5
        url: 'https://localhost:3013'
      scratch:
        cstatus: 'on'
        serviceName: operator-fileupload
        url: 'https://localhost:3009'
    ...

Caution - do not turn off

Do not deactivate the Fileupload (scratch) connector due to the PLOSSYS 5 (p5) connector will not work otherwise!

In the env section, specify the following keys for the operator-p5 service:
- ACTION_EXECUTOR: Backend system, here P5
- PLOSSYS_IPP_URL: URL of the checkin service of the PLOSSYS 5 system
```
