Data connections in Application Engine

Follow these rules and recommendations:

  • You can connect to OLAP databases only within an Infor d/EPM Platform farm.
  • OLAP connections must be XMLA-based. Native connections are no longer supported.

    In Application Engine, existing native API calls are automatically executed as matching XMLA calls.

  • Use data connections in Application Engine scripts.

    These methods of using data connections are available:

    • OLAPCreateNamedConnection (unique name of OLAP data connection)
    • SQLCreateNamedConnection (unique name of relational data connection)
