Verifying the ODBC Data Source for DB2 UDB
The Siebel Server installation program automatically creates an ODBC system data source name (DSN) that it uses to connect to the Siebel Database on the RDBMS. Prior to verifying the Siebel Server ODBC data source, make sure that the Siebel Server service is started. CAUTION: Do not change the default settings created automatically with the ODBC data source.
For more information about the ODBC data source, see Planning RDBMS Installation and Configuration. To verify the ODBC data source for DB2 UDB for UNIX and Windows (on Windows)
