Preparing Siebel Tools for Custom ODBC Data Source Names for All Databases

This task is a step in Process of Meeting the Requirements for an Incremental Upgrade of Siebel Innovation Pack 2013, Using the Incremental Repository Merge.

If you create a custom ODBC data source name instead of using the default ODBC data source name, then you must perform the following modifications to enable Siebel Tools for the incremental repository merge.

To prepare Siebel Tools for a custom ODBC data source name for all databases

1. Open tools.cfg located at $tools_root\bin\primary_language.
2. In the [Siebel] section of the .cfg file, do the following:
   1. Change the ServerDbODBCDataSource parameter from the default value to your custom ODBC name.
   2. (For MSSQL and IBM DB2 platforms only) In the [ServerDataSrc] section, change the Connect String parameter from the default value to your custom ODBC name.
