3 Connection to an LTPDA Repository is normally carried out as part of other processes. For example, when submitting an
4 object to the repository using the <tt>submit</tt> command, the user is prompted to login to the chosen repository.
5 </p>
6 <p>
7 It is also possible to connect to a repository using a script interface. The result is a connection object which can
8 be passed to other methods (for example, <tt>submit</tt>), thus allowing the construction of more automated procedures
9 for interacting with repositories.
10 </p>
11 <p>
12 To connect to a repository using the script interface, us the command <tt>utils.jmysql.connect</tt>. It takes the following input arguments:
13
14 <table border="1" cellpadding="2" width="30%" bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
15 <tr valign="top">
16 <td><tt>hostname</tt></td><td>A hostname for the repository</td>
17 </tr>
18 <tr valign="top">
19 <td><tt>dbname</tt></td><td>A database name to connect to</td>
20 </tr>
21 <tr valign="top">
22 <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A username to connect with</td>
23 </tr>
24 <tr valign="top">
25 <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A password to connect with</td>
26 </tr>
27 </table>
28
29 <br> If you don't supply them as input arguments, you will then be prompted for a
30 valid username and password.
31 <br>
32 The result is a <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> object which can be further used to interact with the repository.
33 <br>
34 To disconnect from the server, use the <tt>closeConnection</tt> method of the <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> class:
35
36 <div class="fragment"><pre>
37 >> conn.closeConnection
38 </pre></div>
