In Sitecore, a variety of templates and items must be created and configured for the provider. The Data Exchange Framework SDK automates much of this.

  1. In Sitecore, open Content Editor.

  2. Right-click on the ribbon and select Data Exchange SDK.

The progress box will disappear after the provider is created. The following items were created in the Sitecore database:

  • /sitecore/templates/Branches/Data Exchange/Providers/File System
  • /sitecore/templates/Data Exchange/Providers/File System
  • /sitecore/system/Settings/Rules/Insert Options/Rules/Data Exchange - File System Provider
