Hi there,

I have to connect to different different databases, different tenants and am using the custom connector. I have a .mez file for each but how can I switch between the two?

Thanks!

    the .mez file has 3 text files for you to update, which will identify different developer account and subscription, that should identify differnt tenant.

    you can create separate .mez file, and name it differently for you to identify them separately in power bi.

    @Alex Wong thank you!

    I do have them separated into their own folders but Power BI only recognizes the first I connected to - how do you switch between them? How do I select which one I am opening?

    Let me know if that makes sense!

    I'm not sure if you can have the same custom connector at the same time, so creating 3 mez files is so when you need to work with one othe teneant, you close out of power bi, switch out the mez file from the custom connector folder and start up power bi desktop again. I have not done this before, just theoritically should work, you can try out.
