Chapter 2: Configuring ODBC Data Sources
2.1 Confirming Installation
This chapter assumes that the Dharma DataLink SDK drivers have already been installed in your environment.
Refer to information for your proprietary storage system for details on setting up the ODBC SDK in your environment. The following steps may be completed as part of a setup program, or you may have to perform them yourself:
Desktop
- Install the necessary executable files, scripts and initialization file for the ODBC Desktop executable.
- Create a data dictionary and, if necessary, load it with SQL metadata that describe tables and indexes in the proprietary storage system.
Client/Server
- On the server system, install components for the ODBC Server.
- On the server system, create the sqlnw service name and associate it with a port number.
- On the server system, start the dhdaemon server process.
- On the server system, create a data dictionary and, if necessary, load it with SQL metadata that describe tables and indexes in the proprietary storage system.
- On the client system, install the ODBC Driver
- On the client system, create the sqlnw service name and associate it with the same port number as specified on the server.
