3530706 - Switching Live Connections from Tunnel to Direct or Direct to Tunnel is not working

Symptom

The ability to switch between tunnel and direct connection types for Live connections is greyed out

Environment

2024.15 or later. 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Connections 
  2. Edit an existing Live connection
  3. Try to change the connection type from Live to Tunnel or from Tunnel to Live

Resolution

This is a known issue and is under investigation from our development team. 

Workaround(s):

1) Create a new connection to the same live datasource with the desired connection type. Then adjust the model to point at the new connection

or 

2) Copy the name of the connection you want to change. Delete the existing connection. Create a new connection with EXACTLY the same name and change the connection type. This will not require any modification of the models as the models will be looking at the connection name as an identifier.
