Configuring the trial to use the randomization DSN

After manually creating a randomization source DSN for a trial, you must configure the trial to use the DSN.

Note: This step is necessary only if you use the Control Panel ODBC manager to create the randomization DSN. If you use the PFAdmin utility in the previous step, it automatically configures the trial to use the randomization DSN.

Configure each trial separately. Use PFAdmin to do this:

1. Open a Windows command window.
2. Change to the \bin directory in the InForm application installation.
3. Enter the following command:

   PFAdmin CONFIG Trial <TrialName> /RndDSN DSN
   [UID] [PID]

   where:

   • TrialName is the name of the trial.
   • DSN is the name of the randomization source DSN. For more information, see Creating an ODBC connection for the randomization database.
   • UID is username of the trial schema owner.
   • PID is the password of the trial schema owner.

Note: Use alphabetic or alphanumeric characters for the UID and PID, and begin them with a letter. Do not use all numeric characters.

For example:

PFAdmin config trial PF304 /RndDSN PF304RND
pf304db pf304db
