SQL Server Instance List Filter

I have as part of my install a list of SQL Server Instances located through the network - this is using the standard Action BrowseSQLServers.

Trouble is some of the networks using the install may have lots of SQL Server Instances - but only 1 that is applicable to my application.

Q. Is there any way I can restrict or filter the list ???

Re: SQL Server Instance List Filter

Hello,

We do not have any built-in filter option for the browse SQL server operation result, but you could create your own custom action to parse the output result (actually saved into a combo box control or property) and populate another combo box control with the desired results.

All the best,
Daniel
