Reuqest to have Connect Direct Windows support a Database AG Cluster and multisubnetfailover=true

We have created a Database AG for our Connect Direct Windows instance and would like it to support a failover from one data center to the other so we would like to see support for Connect DIrect Windows connecting to a Database Cluster and multisubnetfailover=true option.

What is your industry? Other
How will this idea be used?

Will allow our Connect Direct Windows to support connecting to a Database Cluster (AG) that can run in one of two different data centers and failover without manual updates.

    The above requested capability can be enabled in ODBC today and there are no code change in CDW required.


    Please follow the below instructions,


    1.Open the ODBC Data Source Administrator

    2. Go to the System DSN tab and enable the options for the Connect:Direct v6.3.0 Messages and Connect:Direct v6.3.0 TcqStats entries.

    3. Please follow the options in the screenshot.

    Note : However, these settings will be lost on CDW upgrades or when a user runs the CD Database Wizard (DBWiz).


    Thanks,

    James
