Supported URL Protocols

Data sources that reference a file, can do so through a URL. TDV supports several URL protocols, including file, http:, https:, ldap, smb, and ftp. For example, your file data source could be located at one of the following URL locations:

•

file:///C:/projectstuff/build/trialrun/teststuff/flatfile/USPSaddresses.csv

•

file:///\\megawat/engineering/bees/swarmhive/xml_files/royaljelly_xml_1000.xml

•
