SQL Server compatibility level DONE

MVP

HI,

When installing Webcon, the SQL Server compatibility level is set to 120 (default).
To use advanced functions like `string_split` and data processing functions from JSON, it is necessary to manually change the compatibility level to 150.
These functions are essential in developing more complex processes.
If we manually upgrade the compatibility level from 120 to 150, Webcon will no longer provide support.
It would be beneficial to have the compatibility level pre-set to 150 during the installation of Webcon.

Thanks,
Raluca

I would be fine with an overview which WEBCON BPS versions support which compatibility level.
Since SQL Server 2014 will be supported for one more year, I doubt that the default setting will be changed. After all not all customers use the latest version.

Of course it would be nice, if the latest supported version for the specific server would be set, but I could do it myself, if I would have the information. :)

Hey there, this case has already been addressed in 2025.1. Here's the excerpt from the change log:

• Changed the default compatibility level for new SQL databases created during the installation of the WEBCON BPS platform. As a result, the previous compatibility level set to 120 (SQL Server 2014) has been replaced with the highest possible level, which, however, cannot exceed 160 (SQL Server 2022). This modification does not affect existing databases, which will retain their compatibility level of 120.
