dynamic connection appmetadataconnector

[AarizShah]

Hi,

I want to create a one time appmetadataconnection so that all the developers can use it. I want to use a variable where we can give the name of the app and then the connection use the variable and the dynamic connection to load the app metadata into the document analyzer and then the developer can use it to test their apps

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi Aariz,

There is no such thing as one single connection to all sources. But you can create one connection to a root folder in a server you are using. You can make that connection available to all developers using the security rules in the QMC.

It will look like [lib:\\my connection] and will point to “\\myserver\”

Then you can use it in From statements even as a part of a variable.

Example:

SET ConnectionPath=‘[lib:\\my connection]\documents\files\test.qvd’;

Test:

LOAD * FROM $(ConnectionPath) (qvd);

I hope that helps!

Kind regards,

S.T.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. What i want is not a single source to all connections. I want a single connection to a single source type for all developers. Currently, each developer has to make a separate QS metadata connection to QS documents for using document analyzer

Is it possible to create the connection on the fly or share connection across all developers?
