How Do I Use the JSON Connection Debugger?

info

The JSON Connection Debugger can be used to construct and debug connection strings for JSON data sources.

With the JSON Connection Debugger you can:

  • Change and test connection strings and display the stack traces of failed tests
  • Enter an Authentication Protocol
  • Build connection strings by selecting connection string parameters

Open the JSON Connection Debugger​

  1. After entering the details for a data source connection into the Connection Editor, click on "Test".
  2. If the test fails, a message will appear at the bottom of the Connection Editor.
  3. A failed test causes the "Debugger" button to appear - click on "Debugger".

JSON Connection Debugger Interface​

The Exceptions Pane​

The Exceptions Pane shows the stack trace of any exception that occurred while testing the data source connection, or while changing the connection string within the debugger.

The Connection Pane​

The Connection Pane is comprised of the URL that accepts JSON data, an Authentication Protocol and Properties that can be set in order to specify parameters.
