Original Title was: Database Connections - make connection parameters available as published parameters
Make it possible to make the connection parameters such as host or database name available as published parameters so that they can be used in other readers, writers, or transformers, such as SystemCaller.
More details in this Forum discussion: Database connections retrieve parameters programmatically
Just to clarify: as you create a database connection, allow some of the parameters to be created as a published parameter, so the user has to enter those parameters when the connection is used - for example user name and password
Yes that works without problem. The idea is to set a database connection in the fme options or in the fme server database connection and retrieve each parameter from example in python... (for example: username, password,...) or in a systemCaller command ( --dbuser @username --dbpassword @password or greater for example @connectionName.username o @connectionName.password ).
