In CakePHP3, change just a specific table class's datasource.
If you want to get the Table objects to access to DB without appalently using ConnectionManager, I think you use the "TableRegistry" like following.
TableRegistry::get("Yours");
Above then, "default" datasource in app.php is chosen.
If you use the datasource of not default, you set "defaultConnectionName" function to Model/Table/YoursTable.php
public static function defaultConnectionName() { return 'your datasource key'; // Defined at Datasources in app.php. }
Just only it!
