To configure a data source in Linux environments, you must edit the system information file to which the ODBCINI variable points. You can use the odbc.ini file installed with the driver as a template for the system information file. Using a text editor, modify the default attributes in this file as necessary, based on your system values (for example, the Hybrid Data Pipeline service and port number).

To use Hybrid Data Pipeline with an ODBC application, you need to configure an ODBC data source that connects to a Hybrid Data Pipeline data source. The following table describes how several ODBC attributes map to Hybrid Data Pipeline values.

Attribute Value
DataSourceName A unique name for the ODBC data source. This is initially specified in the [ODBC Data Sources] section of the system file. Then, it is used as the header for the following section. For example: [MyHDPDataSource]. See Sample odbc.ini file for details.
DataSourcePassword If the credentials of a database or data store (such as Oracle Database or Salesforce) are not stored in the Hybrid Data Pipeline data source, provide the database or data store password.
DataSourceUser If the credentials of a database or data store (such as Oracle Database or Salesforce) are not stored in the Hybrid Data Pipeline data source, provide the database or data store user name.
EncryptionMethod The method the driver uses to encrypt data sent between the driver and the Hybrid Data Pipeline server.
HybridDataPipelineDataSource The name of the Hybrid Data Pipeline data source to which the ODBC data source will connect.
LogonID The user name for your Hybrid Data Pipeline account.
Password The password for your Hybrid Data Pipeline account.
PortNumber The port number on which the Hybrid Data Pipeline service is listening.
Service The DNS name or IP address of the machine where Hybrid Data Pipeline is installed.
