Update the Connection for a Data Source

{ updateSourceNodeConnection }

Updates the details of a specific data flow source node.

Method

Input Parameters

Output Response

Notes

Use this function to either correct or adjust the data source nodes found in a data flow - using either the server ID, database name or both.

Examples

Data Flow Operations (JavaScript):

This example demonstrates how to update data flow objects and execute flows in Pyramid.

The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.

// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 2.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mySite.com/api2/";
const DEMO_FILE = 'url/test.pie';

/*
example  - import master flow content, fix sources and execute
	createNewFolder - f1
	findRole  - role1
	addRoleToFolder - role1 to folder of item 1
	importContent 
	validateMasterFlow
	create server - optional 
	updateSourceNodeConnection
	updateTargetNodeConnection
	updateVariableConnection
	executeMasterFlow
	getMasterFlowProgressUpdate
