Resource Configuration File Format

Resource Configuration File Format

A resource configuration file is an XML file that contains elements that define the properties and values for a resource. Not all elements are applicable for all resource types.
A resource configuration file can contain the following elements:
Parameters
Defines configuration properties.
Filters
Defines the components, folders, models, schemas, or universes that you want to load into the Metadata Manager warehouse.
For PowerCenter resources, you can set the refresh attribute to true to refresh the folders during reload. Set this attribute value to false if you do not want to refresh the folders during reload. Default is true.
MetadataInfo
Defines the metadata source files or the Microstrategy project source that you want to load into the Metadata Manager warehouse.
ConnectionAssignment
Defines the connections assigned to other metadata sources to run data lineage analysis across the metadata sources.
ParameterFileAssignment
For a PowerCenter resource, defines the parameter files to assign to PowerCenter workflows. Includes the name and fully qualified path for each parameter file. The parameter file must be in this directory. If the configuration file does not include a path, mmcmd looks for the parameter files in the mmcmd directory.
You can use a text editor to change values in a resource configuration file. For example, you might need to change the connect string, user name, and password parameters when you move a file to the production environment.
Values in the resource configuration file are case-sensitive according to the metadata source system.
