Selecting Adapter Connections for Upload and Data Load
The new JSON-based SET CONNECTION_ATTRIBUTES_EXT command supports the following parameter to allow the adapter connection to be available for Upload, Quick Copy and Custom Copy.
"allow_data_load"
If this parameter is set to "y" , the connection is available for upload and data load and would be shown in the Load Options dialog box for any data load. This is the default value.
If this parameter is set to "n", the server will hide this connection in the Load Options dialog box.
Web Console Enhancements
A user can add a file to the list of favorites personalized for the user by right-clicking a file on the Web Console and clicking Add to Favorites.
