Well, that's exactly what we, including the Teiid team, are trying to allow for, and
is specifically why specific data source information like URL, user name, etc., is not
included or managed by Designer. If you've created a VDB that is being tested against
a local database containing test data, then send it to me, I should be able to test it
against a completely different instance of that test source. However, thinking about this
scenario, I just realized we're not recording the connector name in the VDB's
configuration file, which (unless I'm getting confused about what refers to what
again) would also prevent your scenario from succeeding without the first user passing on
that name to the second user outside of the tooling (e.g., via e-mail). I'll ask
about this in the Teiid mailing list.
Guys, am I getting confused again, or don't we also need to store the connector name,
in addition to the CF name/JNDI name, in the vdb.xml to allow for John's scenario
above?
Thanks,
