Creating an ODBC Data Source on Windows

Creating an ODBC Data Source on Windows

Create a PowerExchange ODBC data source on Windows for the PowerExchange Client and for the PowerExchange Integration Service if it runs on Windows. Use the
ODBC Data Source Administrator
.
  1. To start the
    ODBC Data Source Administrator
    , perform one of the following actions:
    • If you plan to create a 32-bit data source on a Windows 32-bit system or a 64-bit data source on a Windows 64-bit system, open the
      Control Panel
       and click
      Administrative Tools
      . Then double-click
      Data Sources (ODBC)
      .
    • If you plan to create a 32-bit data source on a Windows 64-bit system, enter the following command at the command prompt: 
      %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
      Enter this command if you installed the PowerCenter Client, which is a 32-bit application, on a Windows 64-bit system.
    The
    ODBC Data Source Administrator
     dialog box appears.
  2. On the
    System DSN
     tab, click
    Add
    .
  3. In the
    Create New Data Source
     wizard, select the Informatica PowerExchange driver from the list of available drivers and click
    Finish
    .
    If this driver is not available, see the
    PowerExchange Installation and Upgrade Guide
    .
    The
    PowerExchange Data Source
     dialog box appears.
  4. On the
    PowerExchange Data Source
     tab, define the ODBC data source.
    Enter values for all of the properties that are displayed for the selected data source type.
  5. On the
    General
     tab, enter optional information that does not depend on the data source type.
  6. On the appropriate
    Properties
     tab, enter properties that are specific to the data source type or access method.
    The following table identifies the tabs on which to enter the information by data source or access type:
    Data Source or Access Type
    Properties Tab
    CAPX
    CAPX Properties

    AS/400 Properties
     tab
    Db2 for z/OS
    DB2/S390 Bulk Load Properties
     tab
  7. Click
    OK
    .
    The ODBC data source appears in the
    System Data Sources
     list on the
    System DSN
     tab.
  8. Click
    OK
    .
