Data Type

string

Default Value

"%APPDATA%\\CData\\Xero Data Provider\\Schema"

Remarks

Note for Power BI Gateway users: When running the connector through the PowerBI Gateway, the Location property will need to be set to an absolute path. This is because the Gateway runs under a Windows service account.

The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the connector (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.

Note: Given that this connector supports multiple schemas, the structure for Xero custom schema files is as follows:

• Each schema is given a folder corresponding to that schema name.
• These schema folders are contained in a parent folder.
• The parent folder should be set as the Location, not an individual schema's folder.

If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Xero Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:
