TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer 6.2

Description

VC 14 support was added in Gridserver 6.2 Hotfix 5 and is the latest supported VC compiler version as of Gridserver 6.2 Hotfix 13. Customers might want to use Visual Studio 2017 which is shipped with the VC 14.1.  

Environment

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

Resolution

Using VS2017 tools works seemlessly with Gridserver VC14 drivers as long as Microsoft' s instruction are followed. Visual Studio toolset must be set to VS2015 in the project or "-vcvars_ver=14.00" must be passed in the command line scripting. No code change is required.

Note: This has only been tested with Gridserver 6.2.
