Has someone tried this out?

Does it work, any known issues ?

Thanks! Alexander

We'll be looking at qualifying this summer but,  you will need the feature pack which include the 2012 Sql Native Client.

As there is only a week of summer left, Is there an update on SQL 2014 compatibility? We are planning on moving some other DBs to 2014 servers by the end of the year.  And i wanted to know if there is a chance we could upgrade our SLX back end as well.

FYI - OLEDB has been deprecated in SQL 2014 - ms has gone (back) to ODBC :-(

Although there is a "compatability pack".. MS is forcing/pushing everone to ODBC... 

I know dev is aware of this and I'd hope we see something in the Update 04/05 - which is scheduled for sometime before EOCY 2014. Remember, they need to rebrand EVERYTHING in the package to Infor CRM ;-)

Thanks for the response. I had blissfully forgotten about the ODBC thing.  I really cannot imagine how much fun that rebranding will be, but I am glad to see 2014 is still on the radar.

Well. remember, 8.0 was the re-branded Sage.. and then w/8.1 they just did the Swiftpage thing - so it should be hot in folks minds ;-)

I just hope they finish the job in the Windows/LAN client as well as Architect and Admin this time. Green - YUK!
