Hi, after a long time I found some time to start the rewrite of my script. There are a few questions remaining, though.
If I understood correctly, for a generic script I have to iterate over all existing connections (ListConnections). What I don't understand actually is how to get a relation between the connection settings object and an existing active connection object. Do I have to iterate over all active connections and find a matching uuid? Or do we have a simpler way to get to this relation/information? Thx. Bye. Michael.
