1. From the Progress DataDirect program group, start the ODBC Administrator and click either the User DSN, System DSN, or File DSN tab to display a list of data sources.
User DSN: If you installed a default DataDirect ODBC user data source as part of the installation, select the appropriate data source name and click Configure to display the driver Setup dialog box.
If you are configuring a new user data source, click Add to display a list of installed drivers. Select the appropriate driver and click Finish to display the driver Setup dialog box.
System DSN: To configure a new system data source, click Add to display a list of installed drivers. Select the appropriate driver and click Finish to display the driver Setup dialog box.
File DSN: To configure a new file data source, click Add to display a list of installed drivers. Select the driver and click Advanced to specify attributes; otherwise, click Next to proceed. Specify a name for the data source and click Next. Verify the data source information; then, click Finish to display the driver Setup dialog box.
The General tab of the Setup dialog box appears by default.
Note: The General tab displays only fields that are required for creating a data source. The fields on all other tabs are optional, unless noted otherwise in this book.
2. On the General tab, provide the following information; then, select the Schema Map tab.
Data Source Name: Type a string that identifies this data source configuration, such as Accounting.
Host Name: Type the URL of the interface to which you want to connect.
Port Number: Type the port number of the server listener. The default is 9042.
Keyspace Name: Type the name of the keyspace to which you want to connect. The default is system.
3. On the Schema Map tab, provide the following information; then, click Apply:
Schema Map: Type the name and location of the configuration file where the relational map of native data is written. The driver either creates or looks for this file when connecting to the database. For example, C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Progress\DataDirect\Cassandra_Schema\MainServer.config.
User DSN: If you installed a default DataDirect ODBC user data source as part of the installation, select the appropriate data source name and click Configure to display the driver Setup dialog box.
