Is it Possible to Hide Value Items in Smart Connector?

[Lydia]

To determine the value of one type of value item in SmartConnector, I need multiple other value items.  You can think of it like this: 

value_Item_1: 5

value_Item_2: 10

value_Item_3: 10 * 5 = 50

In this case, I would like only value_Item_3 to appear in SmartConnector while keeping both value_Item_1 and value_Item_2 hidden. Is this possible? And is there an easy way to do this in Smart Connector?

Hi @Lydia ,

I don't think there is any easy way to do this in Smart Connector, as points cannot simply be hidden if they are part of an EWS Server. From what I can see you really have a few options, none of which are really ideal.

• Store the values you want to hide in Smart Connector's Processor Values database table (ProcessorValueSource property of your processor) and only store the actual calculated value in the EWS Server.
• Store the values you want to hide in the in-memory cache, and only store the actual calculated value in the EWS Server.
• Create two seperate EWS servers.. manage one as the hidden values, and the other as the values you want exposted. You can 'turn off' the hidden server object, so no one can actually host those objects, but you can still interact with them with a second EwsServerDataAdapter from your Smart Connector processor.
