Hi,
Can the same flow use two different connections "dynamically"? Perhaps with solutions?
I have to run two identical flows, their only difference being the file system connection they use (I can't use the same connection for both). I want to avoid duplicating the flow and having to maintain two identical flows. I thought that I could solve this by using solutions. For example:
If I change flow A, I see it reflected among all solutions - great!
However, flow A is tied to connection A. Is there a way to link flow A in solution B to connection B while flow A in solution C is connected to connection C?
I thought about importing or cloning solutions, since during import you are prompted to choosee the original connection or set up a different one. So I guess that by importing solution A into solution B and C, I can then choose their respective connections. However, I believe importing/cloning is a copy operation and does not create a reference to the original? Therefore, I would either still have to maintain multiple versions? Or worse, keep reimporting A into B and C, each time essentially destroying B and C temporarily.
Another option is to have forks in the main flow to use one connection or the other (if conditions or switch cases) but that seems clunky and not too scalable. And I would still have to maintain the identical parallel branches of the forks which only vary in the connection they use.
In other words, if connections could be passed around to flows like parameters, that would solve my problem. Is there some way to mimic this?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Jsalaz1989 there is no way to pass connections dynamically like parameters.
