How do you get the Metastormdefault  connection string in a server side function?

    There may be "cleaner" or better ways to handle this, but when using the default connection in a server script I've just been using null in that part of the string as null appears to imply to use the Metastorm default connection.

    Mstm.SelectSql(null,"SELECT...");

    Do you have a code example of how exactly you are achieving this? That would be very helpful.

    There are loads of examples in our free solutions (link below). We always use null when using SelectSql() in code as it is quicker and easier.

     

    I am confused by the response to your question, however. You were after the connection string, not a Metastorm connection itself. I assumed that you wanted to use this 'outside' of Metastorm, otherwise a connection would be the obvious thing to use. Perhaps I am missing something.

    I am trying to use the connection string in a server side script. The null is what is being return when I look at the connection string value.

    Hi

     

    As I understand, you want to use MetastormDefault connectionstring property, to establish new conection from C# and run some custom ADO.NET code on MetastormDatabase.

    I found the same as you, thak this property is not initialized, and you cannot use it :( I think this colud be bug.
