SmartConnect — Key Facts
eConnect Rules
eConnect is the only approved method for writing transactions into GP from external systems.
- No direct SQL writes to GP tables from third-party systems
- eConnect runs on the same server as SmartConnect
- SSL/TLS encrypted communication
- Service accounts use least-privilege model
- POS (Envisage) has an exception — direct SQL read to HANDLR DB (documented risk)
