Configuring Data Sources

Before you access data defined to ALLBASE/SQL or IMAGE/SQL you must configure one or more data sources for each Client PC you wish to access your server.

A data source includes the name you wish to give for a database environment and the information necessary to find it.

You configure data sources with the "ODBC" application in the Windows Control Panel.

⊗In Windows95 or greater and WindowsNT 4.0 or greater , click on Start, Settings, Control Panel and double click on ODBC.

Data sources created in HP ALLBASE/SQL PCAPI can be migrated to ODBCLink/SE using the Data Set Migration Tool.
