Datasources can be created to access published entities as datasources. You can have multiple interconnect datasources, but each one must be unique by Xephr host/User ID.
For Interconnect Datasources ONLY, certain properties may be read from the global variable space depending on datasource configuration. These properties are:
host name = XEPHR_IC_HOST
port = XEPHR_IC_PORT
proxy server = XEPHR_IC_PROXY_SERVER
proxy port = XEPHR_IC_PROXY_PORT
The above global variable names are required and cannot be changed or assigned by the user. If either host name or proxy server is empty, the value will be read from the corresponding global variable; the same is true if proxy port is set to zero. Use of SSL is specified by the datasource and cannot be overridden.
In the Explorer Tree, select the Datasource Information object.
There are options to creating a datasource at this point.
Right-click on the Datasource Information object and left-click on the New option in the pop-up menu. Then left-click on the Datasource option.
Left-click
on the [Create Datasource] 
button in the Main Toolbar.
Left-click on the File Menu. Left-click on the New option. Left-click on the Datasource option.
Press Alt+D on the keyboard.
The Create New Datasource screen will be displayed.

In the Name property, enter a name for this datasource.
In the Description property, enter a description for this datasource.
In the Host property, enter the host on which the interconnect entities were published.

If the host and port must be accessed using a secure connection, set the Is Secure flag to on. When this flag is set to on, the datasource will connect using https:// protocol.
In the Default User property, enter the user ID to access the published entities on this host.
In the Default Password property, enter the password to access the published entities on this host.
If it is necessary to use a proxy server to gain http (web) access for your environment, in the Proxy Server property, enter the proxy server URL through which you are making the connection.
In the Proxy Port property, enter the proxy server port through which you will make the connection.

In the Host Name property, the host name entered during datasource creation is displayed. This is the Xephr host to which the entities were published.
In the Port property, enter the port to use to access the published entities. This value was originally entered during datasource creation.
If the host and port must be accessed using a secure connection, set the Secure property to true. When this flag is set to true, the datasource will connect using https:// protocol.
In the Default User property, enter the user ID to access the published entities on this host. This value was originally entered during datasource creation.
In the Default Password property, enter the password to access the published entities on this host. This value was originally entered during datasource creation.
If it is necessary to use a proxy server to gain http (web) access for your environment, in the Proxy Server property, enter the proxy server URL through which you are making the connection. This value was originally entered during datasource creation.
In the Proxy Port field, enter the proxy server port through which you will make the connection. This value was originally entered during datasource creation.
