ODBC Data Sources

Each entry in the optional ODBC Data Sources section lists a data source and a description of the driver it uses.

The data source section has the following format:

[ODBC Data Sources]
DSN=driver-description

• The DSN is required and it identifies the data source to which the driver connects. You choose this name.

• The driver-description is required. It describes the driver that connects to the data source.

The optional Data Sources section, when present in the system DSN file on the TimesTen Server, is used during the setup of Client DSNs. All system DSNs are made available to the Client DSN setup for the ODBC Data Source Administrator on the client, which displays all available DSNs on the TimesTen Server. The user can always add a new system DSN in the ODBC Data Source Administrator. When adding DSNs to the system DSN file, you should only include those DSNs that can be advertised to clients. All system DSNs are potentially accessible through the client/server configuration, even if they are not advertised.
