Upgrade recommendation:

The DMS microservice is available as an alternative. Although this currently has a significantly reduced scope in terms of functionality, it does feature a new technology stack: a scalable, cloud-enabled microservice built for large systems. The long-term goal is to let this REST API grow steadily and to align its range of functions with those in enaio® appconnector.

Notes: This driver may cause problems with ADO connections in Unicode installations. This is because of the columns that have an NVARCHAR(MAX) data type, which were introduced in enaio® .version 10.10. The data in these columns is not read from the respective tables correctly. This means that it is not possible to create queries containing these columns.

Upgrade recommendation:

The SQL Server ODBC driver must be used for Unicode systems in enaio® version 10.10 and later. This is in the system by default after a Windows installation. We also recommend using the SQL Server ODBC driver for ANSI installations, as the MS ODBC Driver for SQL Server will discontinued as of enaio® version 11.0.
