Hi Bernard,

In Visio, this feature is not available by default. However, there are methods to accomplish this, such as extracting the information through an automation script and storing it in a session variable (see docs).

Since this is the first time I’ve come across this requirement, could you provide additional details regarding your use case?

Hi Seba,
thanks for your prompt reply.
in my use case a service and associated elements are hosted on the same DMA.
The service use also data from an external DB element
I would like to split the load on this DB element and be sure we access the DB element on the same DMA as the service
