Hi, I need help with installation of MDS.
Can I install newer version od MDS (like MDS 2017) on older version od SQL Server (like SQL Server EE 2014)?
I tried install it today, but got an error on attempt to create MDS database.
Error was something about collation.....:
Microsoft.MasterDataServices.Configuration.ConfigurationException: Conversion of one or more characters from XML to target collation impossible ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion of one or more characters from XML to target
collation impossible
