Creating an ODBC connection with PFAdmin

The PFAdmin utility is a command-line tool included in the InForm application installation to help with setting up a trial and the InForm application server. To use PFAdmin to create a DSN for the randomization database automatically:

  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> /Rnd [<MDBFilePath>
    [UID] [PID]]

    where:

    • TrialName is the name of the trial.
    • MDBFilePath is the full pathname of the Microsoft Access randomization source database.
    • UID is username of the trial schema owner.
    • PID is the password of the trial schema owner.

    For example:

    PFAdmin config trial PF304 /Rnd
    F:\InForm2\Trials\PF304\Template\RndPF304.mdb
    pf304db pf304db
