Storing variables in configuration file
  
 
Posted: Apr 18, 2017

Hi,

In my CS topic files, i am calling many external services, the url of each service is different, i want to store them using variables in an external file and use them. How can I do that ?

example:
$$url = ^”\“http://localhost:8090/olap/hierarchy/$client_id/\”“

I want to store the above url in external configuration file? How can i do it?

for small numbers you can store it in cs_init.txt as a variable. the file is one per line.  eg

Vvariable1=http://local….
Vvariable2=http:...

for large numbers you can store in tab delimited file and use ^JSONREADCSV

and for huge numbers you can read dynamically from a PostGres or Mongo database.
