Connecting to the Sample Data Source

The following sample session assumes an OpenAccess SDK Server running on host mysdkserver at port 19986 and is configured with a server data source, Default.

1. Configure an ODBC DSN to point to the OpenAccess SDK Service that you would like to test. Refer to the OpenAccess SDK Client Reference for detailed information about creating a data source.
2. Change to the installation directory and edit the file odbc.ini (odbc64.ini for 64-bit).
3. Set the Host value under the [DataSourceName] to the host name or the IP address of the system where the OpenAccess SDK Server is running. For example, Host=mysdkserver.
4. Set the Port value under the [DataSourceName] to the port number the OpenAccess Server is running on. In this example, set Port to 19986.
5. Save the file.

At the completion of this step you have created a ODBC DSN with the name DataSourceName. Continue at Querying the Sample Data Source.
