4.18 Create an ODBC Data Source
This section creates the ODBC data source that is used by the PSS software to access the
database. It is strongly recommended that you use the default name “PSS” for the data source.
Using a different name will require you to manually edit the PSS.INI file. The PSS software
uses the data source name in the PSS.INI file and if a matching data source is not found, then
nothing will work.
