Connections
In order to be able to see a particular project or create connections in a project you need to be a project owner. Contact your organization owner to change your project role.
Xponent has connections that define the base level of connectivity (supported connection types include database, message queue, social media, and web service). Connections are used to communicate with external systems. An adaptor uses a connection to do a particular operation. Example: database SELECT, INSERT or UPDATE, message queue LISTEN, READ and WRITE, etc.
A single connection may have many adaptors.
To create a connection in a project navigate to the project admin page, choose Projects from the left-hand side menu and then choose the project from the list of projects.
Depending on your role you may see many projects in this list.
Select the Connections tab and click Create Connection button.
Choose the required connection Type from the dropdown.
Create the Connection Name in the pop-up window.
Give a functional name rather than a development stage name. Example: CustomerDB rather than DevelopmentDB. It makes easier to propagate the connection through multiple environments.
Depending on the connection type, you will see different parameters to complete before the connection is ready:
Expand or Collapse the Connection
Selection of the Expand icon will expand the list of the same type of connections.
Selection of the Collapse icon will collapse the list of the same type of connections.
Deleting a Connection
Selection of the Delete icon will delete the related connection.
Changing a Connection Name
Selection of the required connection allows you to modify the name.
Click Save Edits to save the modified name.
Testing a Connection
Once the connection details have been saved the Test Connection button will appear below the connection details.
Pressing the button will test the connection and confirm if the connection parameters are correct or not:
