    Referencing Files from the Graph or Jobflow

    In some components, you can specify the file URL attribute as a reference to some resource on the file system. Also external metadata, lookup or DB connection definition is specified as a reference to some file on the filesystem. With CloverDX Server, there are more ways how to specify this relation.

    • Relative path

      All relative paths in your graphs are considered as relative paths to the root of the same sandbox which contains job file (graph or Jobflow).

    • sandbox:// URLs

      Sandbox URL allows user to reference the resource from different sandboxes with standalone CloverDX Server or the Cluster. In Cluster environment, CloverDX Server transparently manages remote streaming if the resource is accessible only on some specific Cluster node.

      For details about the sandbox URLs, see Using a Sandbox Resource as a Component Data Source.
