Determines how and when schema files are generated.

Possible Values

Data Type

string

Default Value

"Never"

Remarks

The add-in can generate schema files corresponding to views returned by the add-in. Editing these generated schema files gives you granular control over the metadata (such as columns) returned by the add-in when the corresponding views are queried.

For example, removing a column (<attr> element) from a generated schema file causes that column not to be reported.

Schema files generated by the add-in are output to the folder specified in the Location connection property.

When this connection property is set to OnUse, upon making a metadata request for a view, the add-in generates a schema file for that view.

When this connection property is set to OnStart, the add-in generates schema files for all the views that are discovered when the connection begins.

Schema files are not overwritten if they already exist in the Location folder. To update a specific schema file with updated metadata, first delete that schema file from this folder, then trigger the schema file creation again.
