Connection Configurations¶

Data can come from different sources, such as databases. To access such data, connections to these sources need to be established.

EnOS provides a function for users to configure such connections, where users can configuration the connection just once and reuse it in areas such as the Database node, without the need to reconfigure it every time.

This section shows how to configure a data source configuration.

Before You Start¶

Ensure that you have the connection details such as username and password ready.
