Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ODBC

> ## Preparing to create the schema holder

> You must follow specific steps to create a schema holder.

> | To create a schema holder:

> 1. Verify that your non-OpenEdge data source is accessible and that you can connect to it. Non-OpenEdge data-source vendors often provide interactive SQL tools that can serve as a test for connectivity.

> 2. Verify that you have installed ODBC drivers and configured your data source appropriately. Also, ensure that any client software required by the non-OpenEdge data source is installed and configured properly.

> 3. Once you have configured your data source (DSN), make sure that you can establish a connection independent of using the DataServer. ODBC driver vendors often provide connectivity tools that test whether you can establish a connection to the data source through an ODBC interface.

> 4. Start the DataServer as described in either the "Starting a local DataServer" section or the "Starting a remote DataServer" section, whichever is appropriate for your configuration.

> 5. Open the Data Administration tool or the character Data Dictionary.
