View sealed data sources in Jitterbit App Builder

App Builder provides the ability to view Sealed Data Sources, which allows for editing of specific information in downstream environments. Data Source information can be viewed by navigating to the IDE > Data Servers.

File System and RDBMS Data Source types allow for simple modifications via the Modify button.

Modifying information downstream

With the ability to view Sealed Data Sources, you can modify simple information downstream via the Modify button. The business use case for this feature is that in QA and Production environments, sometimes you want to map the file path to a different drive / directory than you do in your Development environment. To access where to make these updates, click on the Modify button displayed in the Data Layer for Sealed Data Sources.

Seal or unseal a data source

To seal or unseal a data source, follow these steps:

  1. Select IDE > Data Servers.

  2. Click the View All Data Sources button.

  3. Select the data source to be sealed or unsealed.

  4. In the Data Source panel, select one of the following:

    • More > Seal Data Source
    • More > Unseal Data Source (since version 4.47)

Warning

You should never need to unseal data sources in QA or production environments. Doing so destroys the guarantee of equivalence across environments. Changes made to unsealed objects cannot be reproduced in other environments without significant effort.
