The ADO.NET Connection Editor enables you to edit the repository that stores the connection information used by the OpenESQL managed run-time when a COBOL program connects to an ADO.NET data provider. The repository is a standard .NET Framework repository,
machine.config. This enables mixed language applications to share connection strings
The OpenESQL run time supports any ADO.NET provider that supports the DbProviderFactory API.
Note:
- We recommend that you use ADO.NET data providers when possible; however, if necessary you can use the OpenESQL Assistant to automatically catalog ODBC data providers.
- When you run the ADO.NET Connection Editor under operating systems that have User Access Control enabled, such as Windows 7, you must run it as an administrator if you are adding, deleting, or updating connection settings to the system repository. However, when accessing
User
settings, you do not need this elevated authority.
