Transport

The configuration that is used for setting the connection options.

The configuration which is used when the data source discovers the schema information about the current cube.

The data source uses jQuery.ajax to make an HTTP request to the remote service. The value that is configured through transport.discover is passed to jQuery.ajax. This means that you can set all options that are supported by jQuery.ajax with transport.read except for the success and error callback functions which are used by the transport.

• If the value of transport.discover is a function, the data source invokes that function instead of jQuery.ajax.
• If the value of transport.discover is a string, the data source uses this string as the URL of the remote service.
• If the value of transport.discover is omitted, the data source uses transport.read for schema discovery.
