I believe if you search this forum you will find your answer. This information is also covered in your DS documentation.

In order to call on database servers via the ODBC stage, you have to enter the information in two places:

uvodbc.config (located in the projects directory) and odbc.ini(located as hidden file in the ./dshome)

in uvodbc.config
To get to any ODBC source other than UniVerse, you need entries
that look as follows (the data source must also be configured
via the operating system's own mechanisms):

<data source name>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC

in odbc.ini
for oracle (for example)
Driver=
Description=Oracle9
ServerName=oraclehost
LogonID=
Password=

HTH, i have done this long time back... may be i am missing something this should be close.

Thanks

Red Brick Warehouse is different. In this case, the driver manager searches for $RB_CONFIG/odbc.ini.
