Hi All,

Explain that difference between Connect, Server Connect.

Observes below images, I have created Connection name as DM DEV, Connected with Server Connect after that shows 2 connections.

If I Connects Connection shows only one Connection i.e. DM DEV.

Kindly share your thoughts......!

Hi Veera,

The data-sources you can connect to are stored in a file called "config20.xml". This file exist on both the server and the client

Server: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SAP\SAP Disclosure Management\Data\Config

Client: C:\Users\<user_name>AppData\Roaming\cundus AG\cundusBIPublisher

Note: you can upload the 'config20.xml' to the server in the option "Administration" > "Content refresh"

When you use the left icon to connect you are using the client 'config20.xml' file (this is why is shows 'local').

When you use the right icon, you are using the server's 'config20.xml' file (this why it shows the server name)

When you run a 'content refresh' on the report/chapter, the system will always use the server's 'config20.xml' file

Thanks

Marc

I would strongly advise against using local connections - it really can get messy.

Just keep one 'config20.xml' on the server and train the users to connect with the server connection
