XLCubed Web Edition supports the re-targeting of connections for reports published to the web server.
To enable this feature, the ConnectionMapping.xml file must be created in the Xml subfolder of the XLCubed Web installation folder. This file can contain one or more connectionmap nodes, each of which must contain a from connection definition and a to connection definition. After modifying this file, IIS must be restarted.
When a user loads a Report to view, the Web Edition will automatically search for any connections matching a from definition, and replace them with the corresponding to definition.
The match is done using the Type, Server, Database and Cube of the from connection.
The ID number and name for the connection will be left unchanged.
Example XML file
This example matches connections to the DEVELOPMENT server and replaces them with connections to the PRODUCTION server.
