Connection v1

A Connection is a reusable configuration for accessing a service or data source. It contains the endpoint, credentials, and provider options defined by a specific Node version.

Environment values

A Connection has one identity in a Site and a separate value for each Site Environment. Configure test and production endpoints and credentials independently.

When a Workflow runs, Flowgear loads the Connection value for its active Environment.

DropPoint placement

A Connection can assign a compatible Node invocation to a DropPoint. Use an endpoint that is reachable from that DropPoint, such as an internal database hostname.

DropPoint placement applies to the individual Node invocation. Other Nodes in the same Workflow can run through different DropPoints or in the Flowgear Cloud.

Assign a Connection

Select the saved Connection on the Node's Connection Property. Supported designs can also provide a dynamic XML Connection value. See Connection Data Type and Dynamic Connections.

Keep credentials out of Workflow text and logs. Configure and test the Connection in every Environment where the Workflow will run.
