To configure the OnBase Healthcare API to connect to the OnBase data source:
- Open appsettings.Production.json of the OnBase Healthcare API in a plain-text editor. In a default installation, this file is located in C:\Program Files\Hyland\HCOnBaseAPI.
- Locate the DATASOURCES object.
-
Configure the following settings within the ConnectionStrings array:
Setting

ProviderName
The data provider type of the database. Usually either System.Data.SqlClient or Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.
