ODBC SETUP
10/30/06 at 10:34:31
 
i just setup PSQL 2000i on a new windows 2003 server.
 
DBA is up and working fine after running DDCHECK on my files and fixing a few file issues.
 
I now want to use ODBC to connect into the system and do some reporting.  
 
ODBC was working fine on the old server before the move so I know DDF files were generated.  I changed the ODBC connection IP address to the IP of the new server, but  it still will not work.
 
My question is do I need to use system manager UT-J to create the DDF files again?  If so, then I would expect I need to setup the DSN on the server again as well.
 
What are the steps to create a System DSN that I can point users to?
 
Thanks,

To create ODBC files for DBA go to UT-A and run ODBCDDF.RUN This will create odbc DDF Files. You will than need to create an odbc connection on your server.

Jnapier,
 
Thanks.  I ran ODBCDDF.  I was able to then setup a System DSN on the server and get everything working correctly.
 
Quick note to anyone else reading this thread - I found that it is best to setup one System DSN for each Company and to point to that one company subdirectory when setting up the data Dictionary.
 
I tried to setup one DSN but got strange results from the connection.  It worked more reliably once I setup one DSN for a company and used the subdirectory location for that companies data dictionary.
