Schema Map

Attribute

SchemaMap (SM)

Purpose

Specifies either the name or the absolute path and name of the configuration file where the relational map of native data is written. The driver looks for this file when connecting to a Salesforce instance. If the file does not exist, the driver creates one.

Valid Values

string
where:
string
is either the name or the absolute path and name (including the .config extension) of the configuration file. For example, if Schema Map is set to a value of:
*ABC, the driver either creates or looks for the configuration file ABC in the user's home directory, provided the HOME environment variable has been set.
*C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Progress\DataDirect\Salesforce_Schema\jsmith@defcorp.config, the driver either creates or looks for the configuration file jsmith@defcorp.config in the directory C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Progress\DataDirect\Salesforce_Schema.

Notes

*If using OAuth 2.0 authentication, a value for the Schema Map option must be specified for every connection.
*When connecting to a Salesforce instance, the driver looks for the schema map configuration file. If the configuration file does not exist, the driver creates a schema map using the name and location you have provided. If you do not provide a name and location, the driver creates one using default values.
*The driver uses the path specified in this connection property to store additional internal files.
*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.
