Hi Guys

We have an application that we want to deploy using PowerServer. The core database will be cloud hosted that all works fine. However, the app needs to connect to a 3rd party database that will be on the Clients local network. How do I configure the Transaction object so that it is not converted to a Powerserver web accessed DB, but is accessed in the normal PB way?

Cheers

David

with powerserver, you cannot use a transaction object to use database drivers - it must be via web api calls.

 

you can use oledb ADODB and do everything yourself outside of the transaction objects

That's not a very elegant solution, but thanks.

It's a shame, it would not take much to have a property on the transaction object to not "powerserver"ise the SQL related to it.

Hi David;

I have a few Apps like this. I used a 2nd App exe that the PS App calls in order to access a local DB. HTH
