Accessing and configuring the empty SQL Anywhere 11 repository

Sybase ETL Development includes an empty SQL Anywhere 11 repository, separate from the migration repositories. To access and define the ODBC data source for the empty SQL Anywhere 11 repository:

  1. Navigate to <ETL_Development_install_directory>\etc and rename the repositoryEmpty.db to a name of your choice. For example, myRepository_ETL49.db.

  2. Configure the ODBC data source names to define your own repository by creating a System data source that points to myRepository_ETL49.db

    1. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Data Sources (ODBC).

      NoteTo administer data sources on a 64-bit machine, run odbcad32.exe from C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64.

    2. Click Add.

    3. Select SQL Anywhere and click Finish.

    4. Click the ODBC tab. In the Data source name field, enter myRepository_ETL49.

    5. Click the Login tab and enter dba as the User ID and sql as the Password.

    6. Click the Database tab and enter these values:

      • Start line – C:\Program Files\Sybase\ETLDevelop49\dbeng11.exe. This is the default install location.

        NoteETL Development runs dbeng11.exe for configuring the ETL repository. dbeng11.exe is a single user database and cannot be accessed from other machines. To access the repository from another machine, specify dbsrv11.exe instead of dbeng11.exe in the Start line field.

      • Database file – C:\Program Files\Sybase\ETLDevelop49\etc\repository\myRepository_ ETL49.db

    7. Click the ODBC tab and click Test Connection to verify the connection.
