Defining a data source

Bravura Security Fabric can target an ODBC database hosted application either using the data source name or via the driver. If using a data source name, you must specify this in the Server parameter in the target address. To define the data source:

  1. Start the ODBC data source administrator tool (odbcad32.exe).

    Depending on your system, this is located at:

    • c:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe (64-bit)

    • c:\Windows\SysWow64\odbcad32.exe (32-bit)

  2. Select the System DSN tab.

    The ODBC data source administrator tool displays a list of data sources.

    If a data source does not exist for the ODBC-based database management system that you want Bravura Security Fabric to target, click Add… and create a new data source. See your Windows or ODBC-based database management software help for more information. If you are targeting CSV files, see Preparation for targeting CSV files using the ODBC connector .

  3. Note the system data source name (DSN). You will need this name when adding the target to Bravura Security Fabric . This is usually the same as the ODBC-based database name.

  4. ( Optional) Test the connection to the target system database.

  5. Click OK to close the ODBC data source administrator tool.

See your ODBC-based database management documentation for more information on configuring the ODBC client software.
