8.2 Configuring the connection wizard for a Data Federator JDBC or ODBC connection
In order to create a connection to Data Federator XI 3.0 Query Server, you need the following information.
See your Data Federator administrator to obtain these details:
• the server name and port on which the Data Federator server is running
• the name of the catalog on Data Federator Query Server
In the connection wizard, you enter this as the name of the database to which you are connecting.
• the authentication details for the installation of Data Federator Query Server that serves the catalog
to which you are connecting
In the connection wizard, from the Database Middleware Selection screen, you use either the SAP
BusinessObjects, Data Federator Server, JDBC Drivers or ODBC Drivers middleware to create the
connection.
Note:
To configure an ODBC connection to Data Federator XI 3.0 Query Server, there are some additional
configurations that you must make. If you are using Web Intelligence Rich Client, the configuration
changes required are different to those used by other SAP BusinessObjects applications.
