Further information
1. Attempting to use the solution database when the Insight app is not being run in DMP will cause the model to abort with an error. The ispopulated field of the insightdmpcontext record can be used to distinguish between an app executing within DMP ( true) and on-premise ( false).
2. Attempting to get the solution database when the model is not run though Xpress Insight will cause the model to abort with an error, except when test mode has been activated by setting insight_testmode.
3. When called from test mode, the value returned will be generated from the configuration set by insightsetsoldb
