Research connectivity parameters

You need the data source name (DSN) values for each ODBC target when you set up connectivity for ECDA.

Be sure to record the DSN values on your installation worksheet.

Sybase does not ship drivers with ECDA to provide connectivity to non-Sybase target databases. You must purchase a separate license from IBM, Microsoft, DataDirect, or other vendors, for the ODBC driver that is needed on the particular platform where ECDA is running.

NoteIn some cases, you may already be licensed for ODBC drivers for the databases you are accessing. Refer to the vendor contract and documentation.

Do not continue installation until connectivity is running successfully between the machine that will host the DirectConnect server and the target database.
