Configuring the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong><br />
Configuring an ODBC driver and registering the data source<br />
5–4<br />
Be<strong>for</strong>e you can configure the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> you must:<br />
• Install your ODBC drivers and the client connectivity component from MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />
• Set up your data sources<br />
When you install the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong>, the <strong>Data</strong>Direct ODBC driver <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong><br />
<strong>Server</strong> is bundled in and installed automatically. If you prefer to use a different driver, you must<br />
obtain the drivers from the vendor and install them separately.<br />
Configuring the ODBC driver<br />
The <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> relies on the ODBC driver to complete the connection to the data source, so it<br />
is important that you configure the driver as specified by the vendor.<br />
For <strong>Data</strong>Direct ODBC Driver in<strong>for</strong>mation, see the<br />
http://www.datadirect.com/techres/progressdoc/index.ssp.<br />
For any alternate driver, refer to the configuration in<strong>for</strong>mation provided by your ODBC driver<br />
vendor.<br />
Registering your data source<br />
In Windows, be<strong>for</strong>e you can use your data source with the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong>, you<br />
must register it as an ODBC data source using the ODBC administration tool.<br />
To register a data source:<br />
1. Start the ODBC administration tool <strong>for</strong> your data source. This can be either the<br />
administration tool provided by <strong>Microsoft</strong> or a repackaging of that tool by a<br />
non-<strong>OpenEdge</strong> data source vendor. Also, some vendors might provide a similar<br />
administration tool.<br />
2. Select the appropriate ODBC driver.<br />
3. Select your MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database.<br />
4. Specify a name <strong>for</strong> your data source.<br />
5. Set other configuration options required or optionally allowed through the driver vendor’s<br />
configuration utilities against the target database.<br />
6. Test connect.<br />
7. Exit the ODBC administration tool.<br />
You can now configure the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>, as described in the following sections.
