Get EBX5 Connection details

This is a utility function to return connection details required for using the EBX5 SOAP web-API. This function is not intended for users, it is exported beacuse it is useful for test purposes. The connection can be setup in two ways: 1) ebx5_connection.yaml file created by SetupEBXConnection or using environment variables (EBX5_URL, EBX5_USERID, EBX5_SECRET, BRANCH, INSTANCE)

GetEBXConnection()

Value

Returns a data.table with the connection details

Details

The connection to EBX5 is required for use of this library. For use with a shiny app, the best way is to setup the environment variables in the Rstudio connect app settings panel. If this is not possible (hqlprsws1 server), or for local use you cerate the YAML file. With the yaml file present (user PC), or the environment variables the library will work without code change.
