Re: [dtp-connect-dev] How to get the NewConnectionProfileWizard from a c

[Hui.Cao@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Rob,
        The
use case is when user creates/opens a .sql file, we pops up a dialog for
user to specify the connection info, which includes database vendor definition,
and optionally connection profile name and the catalog name. It's possible
that when this dialog pops up, there's no connection profile created at
all, so we want to allow the user to create one on the fly. Any suggestion?
        

Best Regards!

Max,

The relationship between a dbdefinition and a profile provider is not
managed.  What is the specific use case that would require you to
invoke a
particular new wizard using only a dbdefinition as the input (won't you
already have a connection in this case)?

Currently, the user may have various paths for creating a DB connection
profile depending on how the vendor chose to implement their profile.  The
profile may be entirely custom or may simply provide a custom driver
definition that is used in conjunction with the generic db profile.  In
the
former case, the user invokes a wizard supplied by the specific vendor
and
may only be required to specify vendor specific information (i.e. they
may
not have to specify a driver definition, just specifics about the
connection).  In the latter case, the user invokes the generic db
wizard
and selects the driver definition that corresponds to the vendor's db (i.e.
information like the dbdefinition, driver class, etc. is specified through
the driver definition and is used by the generic profile).

Hope that helps,
Rob

Thanks Rob,
        Your information does help. But I'm sorry that
my previous question
was not accurate. What I really want to do is: given a database vendor
definition with vendor name and version, can I invoke the particular
NewConnectionProfileWizard? Since you have mentioned the
ConnectionProfileManager.getNewWizard(IConnectionProfile.getProviderID())
method, I think the question becomes: do we have a specific relationship
between a database vendor definition and a connection profile provider?

Best Regards!

Hey Max,

Looks like you have to use
ConnectionProfileManager.getNewWizard(IConnectionProfile.getProviderID()).
Ideally, this should be accessible through IConnectionProfileProvider.
I'll create a bugzilla entry to add this method to the public APIs.

Hope that helps,
Rob

Hi,
       Can anybody give me some hints about this problem?
Since a concrete
NewConnectionProfileWizard is declared in the newWizard element of the
connectionProfile extension point, I believe there must be a way to get
it
given a connection profile. Thanks!

Best Regards!
