Hi,

Our IT department now wishes to have all connections to the central admin database (MS/SQL) identify themselves properly. I.e. not as e.g. ".Net SqlClient Data Provider" etc.

FME does identify itself as "FME(R) 2016.1.0.1" in this case, but it would be nice, if one could overwrite the connection default "Application Name", e.g. with a custom workspace related name.

Is this possible ?

Cheers

Hi @lifalin2016, I checked in with our Dev and it is not possible at this time. If you'd like to have this capability in FME, perhaps create a new Idea for it. It's a solid request and would be nice to customize something like this for DBA's who love to know who's doing what to 'their' database.

Thanks Steve, I'll do that right away.
