Connect to the AppDNA server

Aug 14, 2017

The SDK provides client-side access to the AppDNA server. The first step in using the SDK is to establish a connection to the server. A connection to the AppDNA server is maintained by a Server object. The Server object is obtained by calling Server.Connect;

There are two overloads for Connect:

1. The first overload connects to the server and database established during a default AppDNA installation:

   pre codeblock using AppDNA = Citrix.SDK.AppDNA; private void Connect(string username, string password) { //Connect to the default database on this machine. AppDNA.Server appdna = AppDNA.Server.Connect(Environment.MachineName, username, password); }

2. The second overload lets you connect to a specific server instance and/or database:

   pre codeblock AppDNA.Server appdna = AppDNA.Server.Connect( new Uri("http://SomeServer/CustomAppDNASite"), "SomeServer\SQLServer:AppDNADB2", username, password );

After obtaining a Server object, you can use it to interact with the AppDNA data.
