OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for ODBC
Configuring the DataServer : Configuring an ODBC driver and registering the data source
 

Configuring an ODBC driver and registering the data source

Before you can configure the DataServer:
*You must install your ODBC drivers and any additional software required by the data source vendor.
*You must set up your data sources.
The OpenEdge DataServer for ODBC automatically installs the branded DataDirect ODBC drivers for the supported data sources. If you wish to use a different ODBC driver, you must purchase the drivers from the vendor and install them separately.
Note: Configuring the client for an ODBC connection might require installing software required by the non-OpenEdge data source vendor. You must completely install any additional client software required by the non-OpenEdge data-source vendor before you can register your data sources. For details, see Registering your data source.
