The OpenMetabaseLink operation opens repository connection and returns context of working with it.

Comments

The operation gets access to repository connection settings. To execute the operation, in the tOb field specify moniker of the repository object that is repository connection, and in the tArg field specify opening parameters. In the tArg.metaGet field specify parameters for getting metadata. The operation results in the moniker of opened repository connection instance and also requested metadata if the appropriate pattern was specified on executing the operation. The further work with opened repository connection instance is executed using the GetMetabaseLink and SetMetabaseLink operations. To close the opened repository connection instance, use the CloseMetabaseLink operation.
