Twinfield SQL Driver Attributes

Contents Previous Home Next More

The SQL driver for Twinfield has many attributes that can be finetuned to improve handling in scenarios with unreliable network connections to the API server of Twinfield or high-volumes of data. Also, many drivers have driver-specific attributes to finetune actual behaviour or handle data not matching specifications.

The Twinfield driver attributes are assigned a default value which seldom requires change. However, changes can be applied when needed on four levels, which are reflected in the table below by separate checkmarks:

Connection string: the connection string from the settings*.xml file and applied during log on.

Set SQL statement: a set SQL-statement to be executed once connection has been established.

Drivers file: the providers.xml file (obsolete starting release 17.32).

Log on: value to be specified interactively by user during log on in a user interface.

The connection string for Twinfield can be found in the settings*.xml file used for the database. Settings*.xml files are typically located in the %USERPROFILE%\invantive folder in most deployment scenarios. The reference manuals contain instructions how to relocate the settings*.xml files. Each data container of a database in the connection string can have a connectionString element specifying the name and values of attributes. Both name and value must be properly escaped according to XML-semantics. Actual application of the value is solely done during log on. A new connection must be established to change the value of a driver attribute using a connection string.

The set SQL statement can be executed after log on. The syntax is: set NAME VALUE, or for a distributed database: set NAME@ALIAS VALUE. In some scenarios you may need to enclose the driver attribute name in square brackets to escape it from parsing, for instance when a reserved SQL keyword is part of the name. The new value takes effect straight after execution of the set-statement. The set-statement can be executed as often as needed during a session.

Driver attributes that can be interactively set to a value are typically presented in the log on window. Depending on the platform and design decisions of the user interface designer, some or all of the available driver attributes can have been made available.

The Twinfield driver can be configured using the following attributes:

Code

Description

Origin

Default Value

Set from Connection String

Set from Set SQL-Statement

Set from Drivers File

Set from Log On

analysis-enforce-row-uniqueness

Use for analysis only! Enforce rows to be unique.

Shared

False

 

api-client-id

The client ID is a unique identifier of your application. It is generated by registering an application.

 

 

 

api-client-secret

The client secret is to be kept confidential. Such as a password for a logon code, the client secret is the confidential part of an app identified by a client ID. It is needed during the OAuth2 Code Grant Flow together with the refresh token to get access.

 

 

 

api-redirect-url

The redirect URI is the website a browser session is redirected to after the OAuth2 authentication process has been completed.

 

 

 

api-refresh-token

Refresh Token is a security token for the OAuth2 Code Grant Flow. With a Refresh Token and client secret you can retrieve a renewed access token to access protected resources. A Refresh Token and client secret must be stored securely since once compromised allows access to your protected resources.

 

 

 

api-scope

The scope to request an OAuth token for.

 

 

 

 

api-token-url

The token URI is the OAuth2 endpoint to exchange tokens.
