Adding a Remote Fabric Interface Type

A new DB interface can be created in Fabric based on Fabric Remote interface type.

• A Fabric Remote interface type refers to a remote Fabric server that belongs to a different Fabric cluster. Unlike an internal (local) Fabric DB interface, its settings include the Host and Port of the remote Fabric server.

A Fabric Remote DB interface type is defined in a project in the following cases:

• When getting data from a remote Fabric cluster.
• When using a Fabric Remote interface to run the Query Builder on Fabric.
