ODBC or any Database connection

[juliazo]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if there's a way to connect a template to a live database? Doesn't necessarily need to be through ODBC, so any way to connect to any type of database would be helpful.

 

If it helps, we're running VDP Creator 9 on Macs.

 

Thanks!

Connecting directly to an OBDC data source is currently a Windows-only feature. You'll have to dump the database to a flat file. If you're trying to automate a job, you can incorporate FusionPro VDP Producer API (FP Server) into another application which connects to the database as well.

Thanks, Dan!
