Try it in your own environment…
I recently created a Canvas App that uses the SQL Server Connector. I went back and forth with deploying the Solution, which contained the Canvas App and the Connection Reference, from my DEV environment to my TEST environment. I made sure that my Canvas App used my Connection Reference, by removing the SQL Data connection…
