Microsoft OLE DB Driver Recommendation for CA Plex

Products

• CA Plex

Issue/Introduction

Our Plex C# based server functions connect to SQL database with Microsoft OLE DB driver. Now due to security reason, we would need to upgrade Microsoft OLE DB driver to newer version. We would like to know if there is some recommendation from Broadcom regarding the Microsoft OLE DB driver.

Environment

CA Plex 7.2.1 and higher

Resolution

CA Plex does .NET Server C# code generation with a .NET runtime system that uses OLE DB for data access to industry standard databases such as SQL database. We don't have specific recommendation for what version of Microsoft OLE DB Driver you would need.

You should work with your system administrator to make sure the .NET Framework you have is compatible with the Microsoft OLE DB driver. For example, if you would like to upgrade Microsoft OLE DB driver 19.4.1, then you would need to make sure you have  .NET Framework 4.6.2 or higher. .NET Framework 4.8 will work in this example.
