Database Server Name

Posted on by 325

Hi, Is there any way to get the databse server name from Dynamics GP.

I want to pass the server name to my .net dll and form a connection string.

Is there any procedure/function available to get the server name in dexterity?

    As far as from dexterity I will be honest and answer "I have not clue what-so-ever" :)

    However, you can get it from the ODBC settings in the Registry file.

    Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI", False) and loop through the Datasources until you find the Description you want "Dynamics GP" and then the subkey.GetValue("Server") should return the server you want.

    hope this helps,
