RoleWork to complete
Gateway administratorInstall and configure the gateway, then maintain its shared SQL dictionary.
APPX administrator or developerUse ASQL to make the required APPX file definitions available through that dictionary.
Excel, Access, WinSQL or report userInstall the client driver and configure AppxODBC; follow the relevant client recipe after the administrator has imported the definitions.

Routine users do not import the same definitions again on every desktop. Install the gateway and ASQL, then read what ASQL does and who needs it before importing COUNTRY.

Complete the gateway setup and data-source check, then check the sample before moving to a client recipe. Each recipe includes its expected result.
