ODBC Connection Dialogs

A Local Client for ODBC and IP SDK data access connection uses information provided by the application (for example, a database user name and password) to connect to a data source.
The dialog boxes that appear when logging on the data source depend on the data store logon method configured for the OpenAccess SDK service:
*When DataSourceLogonMethod=OSIntegrated, no dialog boxes appear.
*When DataSourceLogonMethod=DBMSLogon(UID,PWD) or DataSourceLogonMethod=DBMSLogon(DBUID,DBPWD), a data store-specific user name and password are required and the Logon to Data Source dialog box appears.
Logon to Data Source dialog box.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Data Source User Name: Type the logon ID.
Data Source Password: Type the password.
Service Data Source: Type the name of the data source to which you want to connect.
Custom Properties: Type a custom property and value specific to your data source. The ODBC Client passes the value to the IP layer. ou can enter up to 16383 characters.
