DataGate Studio (the replacement for ASNA DataGate Database Manager) is a utility that operates within ASNA DataGate, allowing you to manipulate objects in the DataGate database in a manner similar to Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System Database Edition, or SQL Management Studio. These objects include: libraries, file, and members. More information on DataGate Studio.

DataGate Studio 15.0 can be installed within the free Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Integrated Shell or in the Professional Edition of Visual Studio 2017® Version 15.3 and later.

Version 15.0 of DataGate for IBM i includes Secure Socket Layer integration, making secure implementations of DataGate Studio that much simpler. If both DataGate Client and DataGate Server 15.0 are installed, SSL will be used by default. (See DataGate SLL Integration.)

Installation Notes

DataGate Studio 15.0 is able to coexist with DataGate Studio 14.0, but not with prior versions. Support for parallel development in DataGate Studio 14.0 and 15.0 is limited to Windows 8 and newer environments.

If you have already installed any of these products you may not need to download and install this package of DataGate Studio 15.0.

Installing Microsoft's latest service packs, high priority and optional software updates for Windows, the .NET Framework, and Visual Studio 2017 is highly recommended.

Caution: Ensure neither Visual Studio, its installation, nor any Visual Studio update is running at the time of DataGate Studio installation, as it may cause conflicts.

Warning - Do not uninstall Visual Studio 2017 without first uninstalling all ASNA Visual Studio plugins. Doing so can cause severe errors in your DataGate Studio installation.
