Connect to a different context

| Hi All,
I have 2 different CMS databases used by 2 different Web Applications:
*App_A works with DB_A
*App_B works with DB_B.
I would like to create a new template (Temp_A) on App_A to retrieve
information from a placeholder on a previously created template (Temp_B) on
App_B.
The problem is that I don't know the sintax to connect to DB_B or context on
App_B.
Is it even possible?
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards.

| Hi Manuel,
A CMS Server (ie. a single box) can only connect to 1 SQL database at a
time.
There is a registry key you can modify to do near-realtime database
switching but it is a bit messy.
Regards

| Actually you would have to restart the IISADMIN and AESecurityService after
changing this registry key.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi Again,
So, do you mean I could dinamically change from one database to another
through CMS API after this change? If you mean so, I am really surprised and
happy.
Basically, I need to show one page merging information from 2 postings in
different databases.
Thanks for your quick responses.
