Global Connections

Global connections that have been defined in the Administration → Connections area can be used in any Integrator project. To use a global connection, right-click on the Connections item in the Integrator navigation pane and select Use global connection.

Clicking this option opens a list of available global connections in the Integrator project (see screenshot below). Only the name and the description of this Integrator connection can be changed; all other settings are taken dynamically from Administration → Connections.

However, you can use the "Select connection" button to navigate to the corresponding entry in the Connection Manager:

There you can test the connection and work on settings such as access and SVS management:

This button is also available if you convert an existing connection (e.g. a CVS connection).

Notes:

  • Integrator variables that are defined on a project level cannot be used to set properties in a global connection.
  • It is not possible to apply the "Use token connection" option (OAuthToken or GoogleToken) directly from the Administration → Connections area within another global connection (e.g. OneDrive or AzureBlobStorage). If you want to use a token connection within another connection, create a connection for the token type in an Integrator project with the option "Use global connection" (right-click Connections → Use global connection), and then select the token connection from the dropdown list within the other connection.
