- Open Visual Studio. There should now be an "Integration Services Project" project template available.
Adding the Reckon Connection Manager
Create a new connection manager as follows:
- Create a Visual Studio project with the "Integration Services Project" template.
- In the project, right-click within the Connection Managers window and select New Connection from the menu.
- In the Description column, select CData Reckon Connection Manager and click Add...
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Alternatively, if you have an existing project and CData Reckon Source or CData Reckon Destination:
- Right-click your CData Reckon source or destination component in your data flow
- Select Edit... to open an editor window.
- Click the New... button next to the Connection manager: dropdown selector to create a connection manager.
- Configure the component as described in the next section.
Connecting to Reckon
The component makes requests to Reckon through the CData QuickBooks Desktop Gateway. It runs on the same machine as Reckon and accepts connections through a lightweight, embedded Web server. The server supports SSL/TLS, enabling users to connect securely from remote machines. The first time you connect, you will need to authorize the component with Reckon. For more information, refer to our Using the QuickBooks Gateway guide.
