Research direction

Start with config.json and the connection handling exercised by npx pa connection list-datasets and npx pa connection list-tables. Reproduce the shared_odbc flow with an on-premises connection and inspect how the gateway or connector URL is selected. Done means both commands return tables and data instead of the 502 placeholder-host error.

Describe the bug

When trying to use a shared_odbc connection, the route fails with the error

{ "success": false, "error": { "message": "{\"error\":{\"code\":502,\"message\":\"The remote name could not be resolved: \\u0027odbc.connector.com\\u0027\",\"source\":\"Removed.09.common.uk.azure-apihub.net\",\"path\":\"forward-request\",\"policyId\":\"\",\"clientRequestId\":\"Removed\",\"dreeSet\":\"true\"}}", "status": 502, "requestId": "Removed" } }

It seems the connector is pointing to a generic odbc.connector.com and not being re-routed.

gateway is correctly configured ion config.json
