In these steps you create an ODBC data source that is used by a Windows-based
Management Console to access the database you created in Microsoft SQL Server.
Make a note of the following information. It is requested by the installation
program when you install the Management Console.
- Data source name: as you assigned when creating the ODBC data source
- Data source type: SQL Server
- User name: user name you created for the database (for example, build)
- Password: password for the user name (for example, build)
Important: Use the same value for the Database Name and Data
Source Name. A limitation in JDBC drivers requires this constraint. If they
are not the same, the Quick Report reporting feature and the services-layer
APIs for Java and Perl do not work.
