Assign a resource object of class 'ResourceClient' from the data repository to a symbol in the DataSHIELD R session. The resource reference to be assigned must exist (i.e. proper permissions apply) for the DataSHIELD user.

dsAssignResource(conn, symbol, resource, async = TRUE)

Arguments

conn

An object that inherits from DSConnection-class.

symbol

Name of the R symbol.

resource

Fully qualified name of a resource reference in the data repository.

async

Whether the result of the call should be retrieved asynchronously. When TRUE (default) the calls are parallelized over the connections, when the connection supports that feature, with an extra overhead of requests.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
con <- dsConnect(DSOpal::Opal(), "server1",
  username = "dsuser", password = "password", url = "https://opal-demo.obiba.org")
dsAssignResource(con, "D", "test.CNSIM")
dsDisconnect(con)
}
