MongoDB Connection Properties

This topic describes the properties of a MongoDB Connection object in a catalog.

Property Name Description
Connection Options Specifies the options used to connect to the MongoDB server, which are "name=value" pairs separated by "&". You can reference parameters and constant level formulas in the current catalog data source in the format @FieldName, and the User Name special field as @username in the value.

Data type: String

Default Specifies whether the connection is the default connection in the current catalog data source. By default, the first connection you create in a data source is the default connection of the data source. A data source can have zero or one default connection.

Data type: Boolean

Description Specifies the description of the connection.

Data type: String

Name Specifies the mapped name of the connection in the catalog.

Data type: String

Password Specifies the password for connecting to the MongoDB database. You can reference a parameter or constant level formula in the current catalog data source in the format @FieldName, or the User Name special field as @username in the password.

If you save the catalog in XML, Designer encrypts the password using a internal algorithm and stores it in the XML catalog file. Designer decrypts the password when loading the XML catalog.

Data type: String

Push Down Group Query Specifies whether to push down group level summary computations to the database at runtime.
  • true
    Select to push down the group level summary computations to the database if it can perform the computations; otherwise, Report Engine do the computations itself.
  • false
    Select to have Report Engine perform the group level summary computations itself.

Data type: Boolean

Server Address Shows a list of replica set members or MongoDBs, including IP/host name and port pairs. Read only.

If the list contains no IP/host name and port pairs, it means connecting to the local host with the default MongoDB port. For each pair in the list, the IP/host name cannot be null, while the port can be. When the port is null, it means connecting to the MongoDB by the default port.

User Specifies the user ID for connecting to the MongoDB database. You can reference a parameter or constant level formula in the current catalog data source in the format @FieldName, or the User Name special field as @username in the user ID.

Data type: String
