string

is the path to the directory used to store the configuration files, REST file, and relational map. For example, if SchemaMap is set to a value of C:\\Users\\Default\\AppData\\Local\\Progress\\DataDirect\\AutoREST_Schema\\, the driver either creates or looks for these files in the directory C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Progress\DataDirect\AutoREST_Schema.

Notes

  • By default, the name of the internal files are determined by the values of the User (User) and Host Name (HostName) connection options. If no value is specified for either option, a prefix of USER is used for these files. For example, USER.config.
  • When connecting to a REST service, the driver looks for the schema map configuration files in the specified location. If the configuration files do not exist, the driver creates them using the location you have provided. If you do not provide a location, the driver creates it using default values.
