We are pleased to announce that the porting of MAGNAPing to .NET Core is now complete. The .NET Core category has been added to our online store, and you can shop for Core-based products as well as for the products based on the full Framework.
Currently, only Windows platform is supported. The support for Linux and other UNIX-like platforms may be added in the future.
Some functionality had to be altered or removed, due to the lack of support for it under .NET Core:
- MS Access plugin can no longer create new databases. A blank copy of a database has been made available in the plugin package, to be used as a stub, every time the plugin needs a new database.
- PostgreSQL plugin no longer supports Min and Max Pool size parameters of the connection string.
- Informix plugin now connects through IBM.Data.DB2.Core library. The implication is that the server has to allow DRDA connections. The connection string format also changed from Informix client’s to DB2 client’s syntax.
- iSeries plugin now connects over ODBC. The connection string format changed from the native iSeries client’s to ODBC client’s syntax.
Head over to the online store to order your copy of MAGNAPing and its plugins and stay tuned for further development!
