Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Commercient’s underlying connection engine, supporting codeless connectivity via API, ODBC, SQL, and files.
Whichever your source system supports, UDC picks the best available automatically.
UDC connects via ODBC or direct SQL instead, or File SYNC if only flat files are available.
No, UDC normalizes format in transit without altering source records.
No. UDC is the underlying engine included with SYNC, Pulse, and File SYNC and it isn’t purchased on its own.
UDC handles the connection method; API, ODBC, SQL, or file. Whether the connection is real-time depends on whether you’re using SYNC (scheduled) or Pulse (event-driven).
If the system exposes a REST/SOAP API, an ODBC driver, direct SQL access, or can export structured files, UDC can typically connect to it.
