Defining a data source

After you have installed the DB2 client, ensure that an ODBC system data source exists for each DB2 back end database that Bravura Security Fabric will target. To do this:

  1. Open Control Panel and select Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).

  2. Select the System DSN tab .

    The ODBC Data Source Administrator displays a list data sources. DB2 data sources are indicated by the driver "IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER".

    If a data source does not exist for the DB2 database that you want Bravura Security Fabric to target, click Add and create a new data source. See your Windows or DB2 help for more information.

  3. Note the system data source name (DSN). You will need this name when adding the target system to Bravura Security Fabric . This is usually the same as the DB2 database name.

  4. (Optional) You can test the connection to the target system database.

  5. Click OK to close the ODBC Data Source Administrator.

See your DB2 documentation for more information on configuring the DB2 client software.
