XE6 Datasnap wizard is not available

Question

I have XE6 Professional installed which is fully licensed.

I am trying to create a DataSnap server using the wizard as shown in this link http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE5/en/DataSnap_Server_Wizard

File > New > Other > Delphi Projects > DataSnap Server > DataSnap Server

I have no DataSnap Server option available.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

DataSnap is just not part of the Professional edition of Delphi XE6.

As stated by the Delphi Product Editions page, you have to upgrade to the Entreprise edition.

You have alternative around, e.g.

• RemObjects DataAbstract which allows remote access to your database;
• TMS Business Subscription with TMS RemoteDB / Sparckle / Aurelius;
• Our Open Source mORMot framework which works fine with Delphi XE6 professional.

Note that you have optimized database access classes in our mORMot framework: it is able to connect to SQLite3, Oracle, Jet/MSAccess, MS SQL, Firebird, DB2, PostgreSQL, MySQL and NexusDB (via OleDB, ODBC or via ZDBC), without the need of purchasing the FireDAC add-on from Embarcadero.
