I have a solution which has been running for years on filemaker 8 advanced server where I send HL7 messages to an from filemaker server using 'Mirth Connect' connecting to the filemaker server using the ODBC and running a very simple SQL and sending the result out using a LLP connection

 

SELECT x FROM y

 

This is all fine..

 

But, now I'm setting up FM 12 advanced server, and have all the up-to-date ODBC drivers which all connect fine, and have been tested using excel.

 

The connections are being made to the fm server as I can see the connections in the logs (so I guess the ODBC connection is okay), but it will not run the simple SQL query above.

 

Has something changed? I know they are different ODBC drivers, but has the SQL changed? Looking at all the documentation I can't see anything fundamentally different?

 

Any suggestions?

what errors are you getting back?  Those are going to be indicative of where to start looking.

The error from Mirth seems over complicated but here it is....

The exact same query works on FM8 Server.

RESOLVED:

 

I decided to use JDBC connections instead.

 

After the initial setup problem (where to put jar files and which xml file to change). The solution works fine.

 

Phew.
