Using the ODBC Client : Configuring Data Sources for the Local ODBC Client on Windows : ODBC Connection Dialogs
 

ODBC Connection Dialogs

A Local Client for ODBC and IP SDK data access connection uses information provided by the Local Client for ODBC and IP SDK 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.
Provide the following information; then, click OK.
Data Source User Name: Type the database logon ID.
Data Source Password: Type the database password.
Data Source Catalog: Type the name of the database to which you want to connect. This field is disabled when the data store does not recognize the concept of databases.
Custom Properties: Type a custom property and value specific to your data source. The ODBC Client passes the value to the IP layer. You can enter up to 16383 characters.
For more information about configuring data store logon methods, refer to the OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide.
