Basic connectivity

Similar to the TDS driver, the ASE driver has a General dialog box for specifying the basic parameters for connectivity.

1. Copy the TDS driver DSN and Description into the same-named fields for the ASE Driver.

2. Use the first part of the TDS driver Network Address as the ASE driver Server Name. Use the second part of the TDS driver Network Address as the ASE driver Server Port.

3. Copy the TDS driver Service Name into the same-named field for the ASE driver.

4. Optionally, enter the Database Name for your service.

5. From the BackEnd Type pull-down list, choose the gateway type that matches your DSN:

   • DC DB2 Access Service

   • DC TRS

   • MFC Gatewayless

6. Click Test Connection to verify connectivity.
