Automatic disable Data source connection

[rrahmani]

Hi there,
Without using SDK, is anyone aware of automatically disabling a data source connection via a script/schedule/event studio...etc?
Essentially we want to switch reports to another data source connection while the default connection is being updated.

Ramin,

MetaManager can do this in it's Script Runner module. You can write a script using JavaScript to disable a datasource connection and enable a different one. The script can be run interactively or from a command line process.

There's some information and some example scripts on Script Runner here:http://www.bspsoftware.com/products/metamanager/API/

You can also download MetaManager and give this a try.  Happy to help if you would like to see an example script to do this.

Thank you,
