15.2.1 Specifying data sources

The following explains how to specify a data source.

To specify a data source:

1. Run ODBC Data Source Administrator (odbcad32.exe).

   The ODBC Data Source Administrator to be run depends on the OS and on the BI tool's operating mode on the client machine on which the HADB client is installed. The following table shows the folder in which the ODBC Data Source Administrator is stored.

   Table 15‒1: Folder in which ODBC Data Source Administrator is stored

   No.	OS on the client machine	BI tool's operating mode	HADB ODBC driver type	Folder in which ODBC Data Source Administrator is stored
   1	32-bit	32-bit	32-bit	%windir%\system32\odbcad32.exe
   2	64-bit	64-bit	64-bit
   3		32-bit (WOW64)	32-bit	%windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
   4			64-bit	--

   --: This combination is not supported.

2. From the tab items, select the type of data source to be registered or modified, and then click the Add button.

3. The Create New Data Source dialog box is displayed. Select Hitachi Advanced Data Binder ODBC Driver.

4. The Hitachi Advanced Data Binder ODBC Driver Setup dialog is displayed. Specify all items, and then click the OK.

   

   Specify a data source name as a string of no more than 32 bytes. If you are entering double-byte characters, note that each displayed character is not equal to one byte.

   Specify a client definition file path as a string of no more than 255 bytes.

   Note

   • If you intend to output HADB ODBC driver trace information, click Options>>. For details about the specification method, see 17.3.1 Configuration in ODBC Data Source Administrator.

   • To cancel a data source specification, click the CANCEL.

5. The registered data source is displayed. Check the registered information.
