Intelligent Metadata Layer/External Repository Connectors

Yashkumar Amrutiya

Hi, 

I am developing External Repository Connectors which help to synchronize data from one of the accounting software.

I know that we have one method called "OpenConnection" which opens the connection and gets the connection string.
"public IDataSourceConnection OpenConnection(string connectionString, Guid configurationId)"

Is there any way to actually read the connection string and update it to whatever we want?

Also, how do we map the value list properties of m-files in GetItems method?

Thank You,

Yash

    This needs to be updated when the template comes out of beta, but the constructs are largely the same in the two versions.

    To start with the template, create a project from the template. Once done it'll create sample instances of the various objects needed including DataSource and DataSourceConnection. You need to open the partial files and implement the methods in DataSourceConnection.
