Configure the ODBC driver on Windows

Configure the ODBC driver on Windows

Before you establish an ODBC connection to connect to an ODBC-compliant database or data warehouse on Windows, configure the ODBC driver.
  1. Download the ODBC drivers from the database or data warehouse-specific website.
    To get the DB2 ODBC 64-bit driver and SAP IQ ODBC 64-bit driver, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
  2. Install the ODBC drivers on the Secure Agent machine.
  3. Open the folder in which ODBC data source file is installed.
  4. Run the
    odbcad32.exe
     file.
    The
    ODBC Data Source Administrator
     dialog box appears.
  5. Click
    System DSN
    .
    The image shows the system data sources on the ODBC Data Source Administrator (64-bit) dialog box.
    An ODBC connection uses only system DSNs. You can't use user DSNs when you configure an ODBC driver.
  6. Select the system data source that you want to use, and click
    Add
    .
    The
    Create New Data Source
     dialog box appears.
  7. Select an ODBC driver for which you want to set up a data source.
  8. Click
    Finish
    .
    A dialog box appears for setting up the selected driver.
  9. Specify the required connection properties for the driver.
  10. Click
    OK
     to save the changes for the configured ODBC driver.
    If you configure the DB2 ODBC driver, click
    Test Connect
    to test the connection that you configured, specify the credentials of the DB2 database in the
    Logon to DB2 Wire Protocol
     dialog box, and then save the changes.
    The image shows to specify the credentials of your DB2 database.
