Problems with connectionstring

[Former Member]

Hello,

we use the MaxDB with an own frontend and we connect to the database with the ODBC.Driver. Until a few weeks we used the Version 7.6.05.00. Now we did an upgrade to MaxDB Version 7.7.06.09. The upgrade went without any problems, but when we Install the new ODBC-Driver we can not connect to the database with our frontend. I think there is an other connectionstring required. At the moment our connectionstring looks like

"Driver={SAP DB};Server=IP-Address;UID=username;PWD=passwd;Database=NameOfDatasource;"
 

How I have to change the connectionstring that the new driver works as well?

Hello Sebastian

Unfortunately there is an incompability. Please replace in the connect string "Database" by "Serverdb" and "Server" by "Servernode".

HTH & kind regards Thomas

Hello Thomas,

well, this was the correct hint for me. Now I can use the new version of the ODBC-driver and the old one as well.

Thanks a lot for your help.

have a nice day.
