Hello,

I can’t find how to externalize a connection on the clovert community edition.  
I follow the quick start guide and I can’t see the externilize option by right clicking on the connection.

Is it possible to externalize object with the community edition ?

Thanks for your reads

Francois

Hello Francois,  
CloverETL CE doesn’t support any external resources. This feature is available in CloverDesigner only.
