Hi - just upgraded from v8.5 --> 9.2
Has anyone else had an issue in that they've had to reconfigure their protocols that use the SQL Open Connection component when connecting to a MS Access database.
It use to be that I could open a connection at the beginning of a protocol and name it.
I'd have to use something like
DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb); DBQ=\\myserver\myACCESSDB.accdb
as the value for the Data Source parameter
I'd have some name specificed
'myDBname'
n the Connection Name parameter.
Then in later SQL components I could reference that connection by using
'Name=myDBname'
as the value forhte Data Source parameter.
This no longer works in v9.2 - error message:
Unknown data source 'Name=PeppDB'
I've a workaround which is explicitly stating the source (along with the driver info etc) in each one of the SQL components but it's not pretty and I don't know how well that will work if emplying the SQL End Transaction component which I use sometimes as a nice way to roll-back if things go awry.
Note: I'm using the language above to avoid setting up ODBC sources at the server level whilst I do test projects. When the project is mature I move to the more formal way of referencing the database. It'd be a pity to lose the quick hack.
So is this a known issue, orexpected behaviour.
Thanks for any input,
Tristan
