Workaround for Data Connections in VertiGIS
Hi,
I was dissapointed to learn that data connections for VertiGIS Studio Web need to be handled via a Workflow on the server side to establish connections to other databases and pull over information.
Has anyone found a good Workflow example that replicates the Data Connections functionality that was present in Georcortex Essentials? Is it through the Database Connections for Server Workflows ability referenced in the VertiGIS Studio Workflow documentation?
Thank you!

What exactly are you looking for? The only place you can do anything with a data connection is in a server workflow; client workflows run in a browser context and as such, cannot connect to a database.
That said, it isn't all that different from GCX. An old style workflow would run on the server too, with the exception of a limited number of activities such as a Display Form. The main difference is that you now have to choose where a workflow is run: Either server side or client side, but not like the hybrid model used in GCX.

Thank you for the response, Berend. Sorry for my slow reply.
I was able to work on it some more and found where I was getting hung up on the language.
Basically, the work of the Data Connection in GCX can be defined in the Connection String for a Server-Side Workflow. After that, putting the same SQL Command and Parameters into the necessary locations in the Data Link configuration obtained the desired result.
