Can you elaborate on the driver for these changes? Is it the change from Connectors to ConnectionFactories that has been discussed, I was under the impression that was a terminology change.
> Per recent discussions and decisions about our Connector framework I want to clarify our current direction for Designer. So please decipher the following and speak up now.
>
> =========================
>
> A) We are proposing removing the notion of general "editing/managing" Connection Factories (formerly known in Designer as Connectors).
>
> B) This would mean that users would NOT be able to select Connectors (Types) and create new instances of them (Connection Factories) NOR edit existing instances on a given Server. That responsibility will be on the shoulders of JON.
>
> C) For the purposes of "Preview Data" and even VDB Execution, Designer WILL assist the process of matching/binding sources to existing Connection Factories using any JDBC Source/URL information available within source models.
>
> - During JDBC Import, the URL information will be used to try and match /select an existing Server Connector &/or Connection Factory
> - If an existing Connection Factory does not exist AND the URL information sufficiently matches the properties for a Connector (TYPE), then a Connector Factory will be created and the source binding created.
> - If no Connection Factory can be matched/created user can Select One (which may or may not work) or the Source cannot be previewed or executed in a VDB.
>
=========================

> If you disagree with this functionality or have any questions, please respond.... otherwise we'll be gutting a bunch of UI code in the next day or so :)
