Your data source isn't listed? Check whether IBM® App Connect has a connector to the data source. You can use a default connector that is built for App Connect to send data from a data source to Discovery. For a list of the data sources supported by App Connect default connectors, see Connectors A-Z. For more information about integrating App Connect with Discovery, see How to use IBM App Connect with IBM Watson® Discovery.

Hi @remkohdev, We had checked with dev team on removing references to IBM App Connect from Discovery help in https://github.ibm.com/Watson-Discovery/disco-issue-tracker/issues/18018

The dev team mentioned the following in #18018:

AppConnect team continues to support their offering on cloud.ibm.com only for Discovery team. There is no change from a perspective of Discovery.

So, we retained the references including the link "For more information about integrating App Connect with Discovery, see How to use IBM App Connect with IBM Watson® Discovery." to the offline documentation.

The redirected page from the link mentions that IBM App Connect on IBM Cloud® is out of service and removed from IBM Documentation. However, as Discovery still supports IBM App Connect, I did not mention this in the Discovery help topic. Do you think we should add a note saying that IBM App Connect is deprecated in the Discovery help topic? Please let me know.

Thanks.
