If you receive an error like below when you connect to a local instance of APPX via ASQL, you may be missing the 0SA\Struct\SYSDIR.dat file. You can create this file by selecting System Administration > System Setup > System Administration File Management > Create Files. Then restart ASQL and attempt to connect to APPX again.

ASQL.exe failure to connect to the APPX ODBC gateway server (aka appxODBC Server) on TCP port 1992.

The images above can occur when 0SA\Struct\SYSDIR.dat file is missing. This error will occur at the beginning of the connection attempt from ASQL to APPX.

This error can also occur if you specify a Database on the ASQL login screen. This is a bug, until it is fixed, just leave the database blank. You can specify an Application.

Appx ODBC Gateway Service stopped or blocked by firewall.

ASQL.exe failure to connect to the APPX ODBC gateway server (aka appxODBC Server) on TCP port 1990.

WinSQL failure to connect to the APPX ODBC gateway server (aka appxODBC Server) on TCP port 1990.

If you receive the either of the two above errors, verify that the appxODBC Server's service named "Appx ODBC Data Gateway Service 05.02.0000" is started. Also make sure the TCP port 1990 is not blocked between the Appx ODBC client and Appx ODBC server.

Installing on Windows 64 bit

AppxODBC is a 32 bit product. The Windows ODBC System DSN it creates is 32 bit not 64 bit. To view and manage 32 bit DSNs on a 64 bit version of Windows, you must specify the 32 bit version of odbcad32.exe. For 64 bit Windows, to manage 32 bit DSNs like AppxODBC, use \Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe and not the 64 bit version with the same name found at \Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe.

If you are working on a 32 bit version, this does not apply to you, just run the odbcad32.exe found in your Administrative tools (which is mapped to \Windows\system32\odbcad32.exe.)
