Connection Name Parameter - Syntax

The "connection name" parameter is used in several EPM functions.

Here is the syntax that must be used for this parameter, depending on the connection:

For all types of connection - except for SAP BW (INA Provider) connections:
- The connection name parameter is optional. If not specified, the active connection is taken into account.
  Note However, for better performances, SAP recommends that you always specify a connection name.
- You can specify the connection name by entering either one of the following:
  - Enter the name of the connection.
  - Enter the name of a model, provided that you are not connected to other models that have the exact same name.
  - Enter the name of the worksheet, then the character ! followed by the ID of the report. For example: "Sheet1!002".
  - Enter the name of the worksheet then the character ! followed by the name of the report. For example: "Sheet1!Report Actual".
For SAP BW (INA Provider) connections, use only the query alias name.
Note For the EPMPathLink function, use the connection name, not the query alias and note that the connection must already be connected. See EPMPathLink.
