Source DB CONNECTION should not be needed in an ETL project if its CONNECTION has been created in the CONNECTION section and run Data Discover process.

In the V2.1.0.2, user should be needed to create source DB CONNECTION in the ETL project even though the source DB CONNECTION has been created in the CONNECTION section without running Data Discovery process. (If Data Dicover process running for its source DB, user do NOT have to create source DB CONNECTION in the ETL project.)

    I agree, that this is a future consideration and have updated it as such. Moving forward in our roadmap, we look to converge/re-use connections across the platform.

    Could you share the reason why this request is "Not under consideration"?

    My client heard that "Global Connection" that is planned for 2020/2H will fulfill the request. Each service will utilize the connections defined in "Global Connection".
