@Youssef_BenSalem I would recommend using a connection file that gets published with the workflow, or a DSN that is configured on both the user's local machine and on the Server. The following articles contain instructions for both of these methods.

Hi @Youssef_BenSalem

As a best practice, I would recommend utilizing File connections within your server environment and storing the file connection in a network location so that the server/user can access the file connection.
