Manage database connection settings of web sites and web applications during deployment

[Rafael]

Hi,

http://www.telerik.com/help/openaccess-orm/openaccess-tasks-howto-manage-database-connection-settings.html

This is just fine to centralize the connections used by OA.
Our WebSite uses a N-Tier architecture, so we have different projetcs for UI layer, Business Layer , DataAccessLayer and the Business Entities Common layer.
Each one of these projets that is OA enabled uses it's own app.config.

Question: after centralizing the connection on the web.config in the UI projet , how can i still do my reversemapping with the wizard on my Business.Entities project(its app.config is disable for OA as specified in the article.)

Hi Rafael,

 During design-time, to run the Reversemapping wizard, you can enable the Business.Entities project and specify the connection settings for the database that you want to reverse map. You can specify a different connectionid (say 'ConnectionDesigntime') from the one that you will use during runtime.
During runtime the connection from the web.config will be used since it would have a different connectionid.

All the best,
