Creating an ODBC connection with the pfadmin utility

1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Enter the following command:

   pfadmin CONFIG Trial<StudyName>/Rnd<TNS_Service_Name>

   • StudyName is the name of the study.
   • TNS_Service_Name is the TNS name for the randomization database.

   When prompted, enter:

   • The name of the study schema owner.
   • The password of the study schema owner.

   For example:

   PFAdmin config trial PFST62 /Rnd trial1

   This command creates the <StudyName>RND ODBC data source for the database identified with <TNS_Service_Name> and configures the study to use the data source for randomization.
