Overwrite INDBC when publishing to server

When I update my in database connection file in designer, then try to republish to the server, it tells me the file already exists. I don't want to change the indbc file name every time I update the password. How do I get around this?

Hi @katej,

 

I've attached a simple analytic app in order for you to update your password. This workflow will read in the in database connection file and search within the file to update the string containing the password. The workflow will then output the updated password to the existing in database connection file.

Hi @PeterP , 

I have attached a sample of my indbc file. 

I wanted to create an analytic app, 

which when run asks me to input the password (a text box) and the generates the new indbc file for me. 

 

Its similar to the one which you had created, but due to some reason I am unable to calibrate it to my needs. When I open your workflow it gives me an error. Can you please help me here ? 

 

Thanks a ton
