A great feature we have just implemented in the SP2 release of SmartConnect 2012 is the ability to Import/Export the Nodes that have been setup in Node Maintenance. What exactly does this mean to you? Well, in the past we have allowed you to add any eConnect node into SmartConnect but this would need to be done on each Test and Production system. If you had added any list values, added any parameters (eg Binary Stream Facility ID), or changed names of the parameters this would need to be repeated in each system.
We have wanted to put this feature in for a while now but the timing was right as we are trying to make SmartConnect even more powerful and easy to use.
