Service Virtualization

Hi, 

I know this question has popped up a couple times, and most recently looked like it was over 2 years ago.  I have a client who is looking to use SV to virtualize the database connection he's currently achieving via ODBC connections in his C# application.  I explained the JDBC functionality, and that I was fairly certain that ODBC was [still] not supported.  But, being as it's been 2 years, I figured I'd ask.

Can somebody confirm for me this is still the case, and is ODBC support, at all, on the roadmap for future implementation with regard to Service Virtualization?

Thanks!

Bob

Hi Bob,

I can tell you it's not supported today, but only the product team can tell you if it's on the road map.

For what it's worth, JDBC virtualization is not supported, either (although it once was).  The proper way to virtualize database access is using the Java Agent.

Noted. When I use "JDBC Virtualization", I mean "through the Java Agent".

Also, can I assume there's no hack to integrate the java agent with a C# app?

Not that I'm aware of.  However, .Net also has an API that's analogous to the Java Agent API. If CA ever enables .Net virtualization, I assume that's the route engineering will take.
