Adds support for global resources.

Features

  • Support for Global Resources - Altova Global Resources provide an easy way of making file, folder, and database references configurable and portable across multiple environments and across multiple Altova software products. A typical usage of Global Resources is to define a database connection once and reuse it across all Altova applications that support Global Resources (e.g., MapForce, XMLSpy, StyleVision, and now MapForce and FlowForce Servers). Developers can also create multiple variations of the same Global Resource (known as "configurations"). This lets you easily switch file or folder paths (or even databases) depending on your needs. For example, you could create a "database" resource with two configurations: "development" and "production." This makes it easy to retrieve data from either the development or production database by indicating the desired configuration as a parameter for at runtime. Starting with Version 2020, Global Resources can be deployed to FlowForce Server and be consumed by a mapping function. Also, FlowForce Server users can easily switch the resources (file, folder, or database references) used by a mapping function, and this will affect all FlowForce jobs using that function.
  • Support for OAuth 2.0 in Web services calls - Like MapForce and MapForce Server 2020, FlowForce Server jobs that call Web services can now authorize with the service provider using the OAuth 2.0 protocol. The "credential" entity in FlowForce has been extended to support OAuth 2.0 fields. You can define credentials both in MapForce and FlowForce Server, and either embed them into the mapping at design time, or supply them as parameters to the execution step in FlowForce Server.
