About this task

To export connection details as context variables in a new context in the Repository, follow the steps below:

Procedure

  1. Upon creating or editing a metadata connection in the wizard, click Export as context.
  2. In the Create / Reuse context wizard that opens, select Create a new repository context and click Next.
  3. Type in a name for the context to be created, and add any general information such as a description if required.
    The name of the Metadata entry is proposed by the wizard as the context name, and the information you provide in the Description field will appear as a tooltip when you hover over the context in the Repository.
  4. Click Next to create and view the context, or click Finish to complete context creation and return to the connection wizard directly.
    In this example, click Next.
  5. Verify the context generation result.
    To edit the context variables, go to the Contexts node of the Repository, right-click the newly created context, and select Edit context to open the Create / Edit context wizard after the connection wizard is closed.
    To edit the default context, or add new contexts, click the [+] button in the upper right corner of the wizard.
    To add a new context variable, click the [+] button at the bottom of the wizard.
    For more information on handling contexts and variables, see Using contexts and variables.
    Note: If you are using the 8.0 R2023-12 monthly release, only simple text fields can be exported to context.
  6. Click Finish to complete context creation and return to the connection wizard.
    The relevant connection details fields in the wizard are set with the context variables.
    To unset the connection details, click the Revert Context button.
