External (shared) JMS connections are connections usable across multiple graphs. The external connections are stored outside the graph and that is why they can be shared.
To create an external (shared) JMS connection select → → .
Select → → item.
An Edit JMS connection wizard has been opened. See Edit JMS Connection Wizard.
When all properties of the connection has been set, you can validate your connection using the button.
Choose the project, its conn subfolder, choose the
name for your external JMS connection file.
Use button to finish the wizard.
Existing external (shared) connections can be linked to any graph you would like to use them in.
Right-click either the Connections group or any of its items.
Select → from the context menu.
URL Dialog has been opened.
Expand the conn folder in the dialog
and choose the desired connection configuration file.
You can link multiple external (shared) connection configuration files at once: select multiple connection files in the dialog.
The same approach is valid for linking of both: database and JMS connections.
Any shared (external) JMS Connection can be internalized (converted to the internal connection). To internalize Exported JMS Connections link the JMS Connection to the graph first.
Right-click linked external (shared) connection item in the Outline pane.
Select from the context menu.
The selected JMS Connection in the outline have been converted from external to internal. The file with External JMS Connection stay untouched.
You can even internalize multiple linked external (shared) connection configuration files at once. To do this, select the desired linked external (shared) connection items in the Outline pane.
You can select adjacent items when you press Shift and then the Down Cursor or the Up Cursor key. If you want to select non-adjacent items, use Ctrl+ at each of the desired items instead.
However, the original external (shared) connection
configuration files still remain to exist in the
conn subfolder what can be seen in the
Navigator pane.
The same approach is valid for linking of both: database and JMS connections.
