OLE DB Connection Strings for the Profiling System

  • Article

Two types of connection strings are recognized by the OLE DB Provider for Commerce Server for use with the Profiling System:

  • "URL=mscop://InProcConnect/Server=myserver:Database=dbname:
    Catalog=Profile Definitions:Trusted_Connection=Yes"
  • "Provider=commerce.dso.1;Data Source=mscop://InProcConnect/Server=myserver:Database=dbname:
    Catalog=Profile Definitions:Trusted_Connection=Yes "

The URL-based format is the recommended format. However, in ASP.NET, a provider is required. Therefore the second bullet listed above should be used for ASP.NET.

The name of the catalog must be "Profile Definitions".

The Fastload option (False by default) is not used by the Profiling System.
