Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ODBC

Configuring the ODBC driver and registering the data source

Before you can configure the DataServer:

You might need to install your ODBC drivers and 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 the "Software requirements" section.
