Task 5: Add a client data source
1. Start the Microsoft ODBC Administrator:
Start > Programs > HP ODBC 2.0 > MS ODBC Administrator
or, for the 64–bit driver
Start > Programs > HP ODBC64 2.0 > MS ODBC Administrator
Click Add.
2. Select HP ODBC 2.0 and then click Finish to start the Create Data Source wizard.
3. Enter the data source name (for example, “TDM_Default_DataSoure”) and then type an
optional description, and click Next.
4. Enter the primary IP address or hostname for the database platform. This can be the first
segment name or the IP address of your data source. Enter the port as 18650. Leave the
defaults as is and click Next.
5. Enter the schema name. The default schema name is USR. Click Next.
6. Provide the translate DLL and its options, if you have one. If not, leave it blank. Leave the
localization defaults as is, and click Next.
7. The Replacement Character replaces any character that is incompatible for translation when
retrieving data. It is one character (one or two bytes long). The Replacement Character is
assumed to be in the character set specified in the Client/Server Character Set Interaction.
If it is not specified, '?' is used as the default.
8. Enter the trace options. Both boxes are selected; leave them as is. Change the Log File Path
to the location you want, or leave the default as is, and click Finish.
9. The wizard gives you an opportunity to test the connection. Click Test Connection.
10. The server ID and schema are filled in for you. Enter a valid user name and password. The
wizard attempts to connect to the data source and displays a message to say it was successful
or not.
Task 6: Delete the download folder
When the installation is complete, delete the temporary download folder (for example,
C:\ODBCTEMP).
