REST Connector - WITH CONNECTION Syntax to override parameters

[rdugg]

What can and can't be parametrized in using WITH CONNECTION ?

I'm trying without success to change the keyGenerationStrategy.

sometime my apps need to use value 3, sometimes 0.

And I don't want to create and manage two connectors just for that point.

Is there a documentation about that ?

Should all parameters be "overridable" using with connection

See https://help.qlik.com/en-US/connectors/Subsystems/REST_connector_help/Content/Connectors_REST/Load-R...

WITH CONNECTION keyword

The REST Connector supports the WITH CONNECTION keyword, which can be used to override URLs, query parameters and query headers in a connection. The POST body can also be overridden when the POST method has been selected for the connection. WITH CONNECTION allows you to alter some parts of a connection rather than create a separate connection.

Four parameters can be used with the WITH CONNECTION keyword:

• URL
• QUERY
• HTTPHEADER
• BODY

The syntax for each parameter is:

• URL "new url"
• QUERY "parameter name" "parameter value"
• HTTPHEADER "header name" "header value"
• BODY "request body text"

Thank you for pointing out the Documentation.

I guess, I'll use two separate Data connection for my two usages then.
