Configure an ODBC data source using the ODBC Data Source Administrator;
click , then click the System
DSN tab. When you define a new data source, select the appropriate
driver for your database and complete the dialog that is displayed. Refer
to your relevant database product documentation for more information.
Setup
considerations specific to WebSphere Event Broker are
described below for the supported databases.
- DB2 UDB
- When you define a data source for DB2 UDB you must choose the
driver named IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER. Enter the data source name
(DSN) and description, and select the correct database alias from the drop-down
list. You must register the data source as a system data source.
You
might find it easier to use the Configuration Assistant:
- Open the DB2 Configuration Assistant.
- Right-click the database, and select Change Database.
- Select Data Source.
- Select Register this database for ODBC and select
the system data source option.
- Click Finish.
- The Test Connection dialog opens automatically
and you can test the various connections.
- Informix Dynamic Server
- When you define a data source for Informix Dynamic Server, choose the
driver:
Complete these steps to configure the driver:
- On the Connection tab, specify:
- the Informix server name
- the machine host name
- the Informix network service name (as defined in the services file)
- the network protocol (for example, olsotcp)
- the Informix data source name
- the user identifier to access the data source within
- the password for that user identifier
- Click Apply.
- Click Test Connection to check your supplied values.
- Click OK to finish.
- Microsoft SQL Server
- When you define a data source for Microsoft SQL Server you must choose
the driver named SQL Server. The driver level must be Version
3.60 or later. Specify a name and description, and select the correct server
from the drop-down list.
- Oracle
- When you define a data source for Oracle, choose the driver:
- MQSeries DataDirect Technologies 5.00 32-BIT Oracle
Complete these steps to configure the driver:
- Enter the DSN name, description, and server name (where the server name
is the "Service Name" that resolves to a "Connect Descriptor", for example
through a mapping in the TSNAMES.ORA file).
Select the appropriate Oracle client version from the drop-down
list.
- Ensure that the Enable SQLDescribeParam box is
checked. This parameter is on the Advanced tab of the
driver settings.
- Create a new registry subkey for each of your DSNs that reference an Oracle
database. Use REGEDIT to navigate to the correct location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
ODBC
ODBC.INI
- Right-click the DSN, and select . Specify WorkArounds for
the string, and set the value to 536870912.
- Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise
- When you define a data source for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, choose
the driver:
- MQSeries DataDirect Technologies 5.00 32-BIT Sybase Wire Protocol
Complete these steps to configure the driver:
- Enter the DSN name, description, network address of the server (for a
description of the format of this address, see the explanation for NetworkAddress= in Editing the .odbc.ini parameters).
- Ensure the Enable Describe Parameter box is checked.
This parameter is on the Advanced tab.
- Ensure the Prepare Method setting is 1
- Partial. This parameter is on the Performance tab.
- Create a new registry subkey for each of your DSNs that reference
an Sybase database. Use REGEDIT to navigate to the correct
location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
ODBC
ODBC.INI
- Right-click the DSN, and select . Specify SelectUserName for
the string, and set the value to 1.
You have now configured your ODBC data source names on Windows. Next, you must configure the
environment for issuing console commands, and for running the broker, so that
it can access the required database libraries. For more information, see Setting your environment to access databases.
