DataServer utilities

OpenEdge supports a number of utilities that allow you to create and maintain an ODBC DataServer. Choose DataServer > ODBC Utilities to see the available DataServer utilities, described in the following table.

Table 23. DataServer utilities
ODBC utility	Description
Create DataServer Schema...	Creates a schema image in the schema holder for an ODBC data source
Update/Add Table Definitions...	Updates the schema holder to reflect any changes that you make to data-source data definitions
Verify Table Definition...	Makes sure that the data definitions in the schema holder match your data-source data definitions
Edit Connection Information...	Changes connection information or the logical database name for a data source
Change DataServer Schema Code Page...	Changes the code page in the schema holder associated with the ODBC data source
Delete DataServer Schema...	Deletes a schema image from the schema holder
Schema Migration Tools	Accesses utilities for migrating or comparing an OpenEdge database to an ODBC data source

When you access a DataServer utility (as you will do in the tutorials that follow this section), the User ID and Password dialog box might appear before the utility opens:

In the User ID and Password dialog box, click OK if you are satisfied with the user ID and password combination that you have already supplied. If you want to change them, or they were never specified, enter a user ID and password with the privileges required for creating and updating a schema holder. For more information about the required privileges, see Establishing permissions.
