Data Source settings
Data Source settings
Enterprise eTIME uses Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) most of the time, but uses Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) for selected components, such as Data
Collection Manager and A-Connect.
The person who installed your Enterprise eTIME system provided the data source name, user ID, and password for an ODBC connection to the database. This information was captured in the following properties:
• Dsnname.name
• Dsnname.usr
• Dsnname.pwd.rsa
Note: For SQL Server databases, the data source name must match exactly the data source name in the computer’s ODBC setting.
These properties were written to a temporary property file,
SiteDsnname.properties
. When the system was started for the first time, these three properties were written to the WPKDsnname table in the database as dsnname.1.name
, dsnname.1.pwd.rsa, and dsnname.1.usr, as well as to the SiteDsnname.properties.1 file, which is located and accessed through the System Settings.
Note: All DSN names must be unique. There is no validation on DSN names; therefore, you must verify that there are no duplicate DSN names. If you find a duplicate DSN name, edit the name and click Save.
Do not modify any properties in this setting unless you want the change to be applied to all of the instances in the system that are connected to the same database.
After you click Save, any changes that you made are permanent. There is no way to restore or reload the previous settings.
