Configuring the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong><br />

Permissions <strong>for</strong> connecting a schema holder<br />

When you connect to a schema holder, you can also choose to connect to your MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

database. To connect to the data source, you must provide a valid login name and password<br />

combination. Use the User ID (-U) parameter to provide the user ID and the Password (-P)<br />

parameter to provide the password. Figure 5–1 shows an example of the User ID and Password<br />

dialog box.<br />

Figure 5–1: User ID and Password dialog box<br />

Note that value xxxxxx that appears in Figure 5–1 is only a placeholder <strong>for</strong> the actual MS <strong>SQL</strong><br />

<strong>Server</strong> database name to which you intend to connect.<br />

Application-specific permissions<br />

In addition to the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database permissions required by the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>, the required<br />

permissions <strong>for</strong> users depend on the applications that they are using. For example, a user who<br />

is running an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> application that queries but does not update the employee table in the<br />

data source must connect to the data source with a login name and password combination that<br />

provides at least SELECT privileges <strong>for</strong> the employee table. For users who will manipulate data<br />

at runtime, the appropriate select, insert, update, and delete permissions must be granted as<br />

administered by the <strong>for</strong>eign (target) data source.<br />

In summary, the login name (or user ID) and password combination required to run a particular<br />

application depends on the following:<br />

• The tables that the application accesses<br />

• The type of access required to those tables<br />

Preparing to create the schema holder<br />

This section addresses the steps required to create the schema holder.<br />

To prepare to create the schema holder:<br />

1. Verify that your MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database is accessible and that you can connect to it.<br />

Transact-<strong>SQL</strong> and the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Query Analyzer can serve as a test <strong>for</strong> connectivity.<br />

2. Verify that you have installed the ODBC drivers.<br />

3. Once you have configured your data source (DSN), make sure that you can establish a<br />

connection independent of using the <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>. From your DSN configuration, select to<br />

test the connection to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> using the ODBC interface.
