Hi,

Does anyone know if Apps 8 is  OLE DB compliant? There's an API within another programme we used which is a standardised MicroSoft OLE DB API. We would like to know if its possible to link to IFS via that API?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hayley,

 

Assuming Apps 8 still uses an Oracle database as its back-end, you should be able to use any OLE DB driver for Oracle to expose data via that methodology.

Here is the link to the start of the documentation for OLE DB on Oracle:

 

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/oledb/index.html

 

I have experience with using Oracle Instant Client ODBC driver, but not with OLE DB, so apologies that I cannot be of more assistance.

 

Hope thishelps!

 

Thanks,

JoeK
