Edit a Dremio connection
You can edit a Dremio connection to add tables and columns.
Follow these steps to edit an existing Dremio connection:

Sort each column: Connection name, Connection type, _Modified (date), or Author.

Search on these categories.

To change the properties of the connection, such as authentication parameters, select the Update connection details option.

To save your changes without completing all steps, click Save and exit on the connection configuration step. ThoughtSpot saves your changes and returns you to the connection details page. |
Validate metadata
You can now validate connections to discover any changes in metadata after the connection was created. When you validate a connection, ThoughtSpot provides a JSON file containing details on any metadata changes. Once alerted to a metadata change, you can use TML to update the connection.
To validate your connection:
-
Navigate to Data workspace > Connections.
-
Select the name of the connection you want to validate.
-
Click Validate.
-
If ThoughtSpot detects any changes to the connection’s metadata, it displays an appropriate message. Else, it gives a message stating successful validation.
