Creating a Metadata Db Connection using existing Context variables

[chris_r_pope]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a Metadata Db Connection using existing Context Variables, however there doesn't seem to be a way of linking a Context to the Db Connection without actually using the generate option on the Db Connection screen to create an entirely new one.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
I'm using 'Talend Enterprise Data Integration Cluster edition' v5.1.2.r90681
Thanks in advance

Hi Sabrina

Thanks for the quick reply.  

I am sticking to using repository connections for the time being whilst testing and prototyping.  Once a solution moves into the product, development lifecycle I will change all connections to "built in" and substitute in the context variables.

Just a shame the repository connections have to have hard coded parameters.
