Purpose

This component is required to integrate Report Builder or Shazam into an application.  Instead of assigning a session to these reports, a TnxDatabaseMapper is assigned instead.  This provides a unique namespace of databases and allows you to include data from different databases on separate servers that have the same name.  Each database can be mapped to a different name and uniquely recognised.

Key Properties

DefaultSession

If you set a default session, then the component presents all the alias names from the default session to the outside world.

Mappings

This is a collection which you can set to map database names as required and described above.

Options

dmoAddAliasNames - if true, fetches alias names from the mapped databases

Please also see Common Properties and Events for more details.
