You can set up private connectivity to a private VPC through Google's Private Service Connect, and then you can use Cloud interconnects to connect to your Azure private network.

Hi @shaaland! My name is Jung Hoon Son (Cerevel Therapeutics) and looking into evaluating Sharepoint connector as a possible solution, but Sharepoint connector documentation is quite non-existent, curious if there is some guide to do this!

More specifically: getting the "Authorization URL" for this connector - unsure what this refers to. Thank you in advance!

Sorry for the late reply on this.  Can you please create a new post for this?  It helps to get a faster response than adding a comment to the general announcement post.

We have updated the docs page to help clarify the expected inputs. Please check this to see if this helps:

Hi! I am SO interested in learning everything about getting started with using Integrations / Connectors in lieu of 3rd party tools like FiveTran and Stitch. However, I'm only seeing your (1) video on Youtube which is barely scratching the surface and doesn't provide much context. Is there an end-to-end instructional video or Google course or training on how to set up Integrations and Connections and utilize the data, for an audience of SQL users who are *not* developers? I only know enough to be dangerous, but really am excited to set up data sources.

Additionally you can also Scott has a YouTube playlist which he keeps updating with new videos specifically on Application Integration and Connectors (updates, news, tutorials). You can get to it on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7RgCa-ooQU&list=PL7elkWWOK1pOE_DgV_CPl_VQXx_GekeVH

Hi , I am trying to use integrator component to connect to IBM MQ which sits remotely. Though I configure the right conneciton parameters, I get the following error : JMSWMQ0018: Failed to connect to queue manager 'OM_QMGR' with connection mode 'Client' and host name 'Client'.
The same was reported in thread: https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Integration-Services/Trying-to-connect-to-onprem-MQ-using-IB... . but there was no further conversation.  Your help on this is much appreciated.
