Registering Your Data Source
On NT, before you can use your data source with the DataServer for SQL Server™, you must register it as an ODBC data source using the ODBC administration tool. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start the ODBC administration tool for your data source. This can be either the administration tool provided by Microsoft or a repackaging of that tool by a non-Progress data source vendor. Also, some vendors might provide a similar administration tool.
- Select the appropriate ODBC driver.
- Select your SQL Server™ database.
- Specify a name for your data source.
- Set other configuration options required or optionally allowed through the driver vendor’s configuration utilities against the target database.
- Test connect.
- Exit the ODBC administration tool.
You can now configure the DataServer, as described in the following sections.
