Hi Jakob,

Are you referring to Data Sources or Connections? A data source contains the jar libraries while the connection contains the data needed to connect to a specific MarkLogic AppServer. Assuming that you have configured the MarkLogic related options once, what you can do is share the Oxygen options file with all other users that want the same level of access.

The options file is named something like oxyOptionsSa15.0.xml and depending on the platform the options folder is located as follows:
- Windows XP - [user-home-folder]\Application Data\com.oxygenxml
- Windows Vista/7 - [user-home-folder]\AppData\Roaming\com.oxygenxml
- Mac OS X - [user-home-folder]/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml
- Mac OS X - ~/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml
- Linux - [user-home-folder]/.com.oxygenxml

One thing to bear in mind is that the passwords are encrypted so they are not portable. All those that import the options file must manually insert the passwords in the connections.

Since the options file is an XML file you could also take a look and see how a MarkLogic data source and connection are saved and write an XQuery or XSLT to automatic add the connections so that you skip the manual insertion entirely.

Once you have an options file you can send them to all interested and they can use Options->Import Global Options... Another possible approach is to give them the options file as default options: http://oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/#topics/default-options.html

I'm also thinking about a possible Wizard that will let you select the AppServers for which you want to create connections. But I don't think this Wizard will be able to create Data Sources since the jars are not on the server (it would involve downloading them from the MarkLogic site). Do you find this kind of wizard to be useful and if yes do you have any suggestions about what interaction we should offer in this wizard?

Best regards,
Alex
