Connection Externalization Enabled

Administrators use this system setting to specify whether to externalize any database connections that administrators configured for semantic models created and maintained with the Model Administration Tool in Oracle Analytics Cloud.

When you externalize the connection information, anyone who uses Model Administration Tool to edit semantic models can refer to the database connections “by name” rather than re-entering the connection details in full (connection pool settings).

Valid Values

• On — Externalizes the database connections that administrators define for semantic models through Console. Default

• Off — Doesn't externalize database connections details. Anyone using Model Administration Tool to edit semantic models must enter the database connection information in the Connection Pool dialog.
