Specifies the directory where the internal configuration files, REST file, and the relational map of the REST data model are written. The driver looks for these files when connecting to a REST service. If the file does not exist, the driver creates one.
Valid Values
string
where:
string
is the path to the directory used to store the configuration files, REST file, and relational map. For example, if SchemaMap is set to a value of C:\\Users\\Default\\AppData\\Local\\Progress\\DataDirect\\AutoREST_Schema\\, the driver either creates or looks for these files in the directory C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Progress\DataDirect\AutoREST_Schema.
Notes
By default, the name of the internal files are determined by the values of the User and ServerName connection properties. If no value is specified for either property, a prefix of USER is used for these files. For example, USER.config.
When connecting to a REST service, the driver looks for the schema map configuration files in the specified location. If the configuration files do not exist, the driver creates them using the location you have provided. If you do not provide a location, the driver creates it using default values.
You can refresh the internal files related to an existing view of your data by using the SQL extension Refresh Map. Refresh Map runs a discovery against your native data and updates your internal files accordingly.
Example
As the following examples show, escapes are needed when specifying SchemaMap for a data source but are not used when specifying SchemaMap in a connection URL.
By default, the name of the internal files are determined by the values of the User and ServerName connection properties. If no value is specified for either property, a prefix of USER is used for these files. For example, USER.config.
