I haven't done this in a while...so I need some help. :lol:

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

uvodbc.config (located in the projects directory) and odbc.ini...that is my problem. I cannot find odbc.ini, where is its location?

The help file says opt/

Do a "cat /.dshome" to see where the file is located. This is the "engine" directory. You do not need to recycle services to make changes effective in the odbc.ini file or the uvconfig files.

Thanks Ken.

I looked in the engine directory but don't see a listing for it. I know its somewhere because we have ODBC entries in other jobs.

I found it in branded_odbc...but I don't see any other connection information for the ones I currently have working. :?:

The file is in the DSEngine directory but it's called ".odbc.ini" (it's a hidden file). If you do

Code: Select all

ls -las
in the DSEngine directory the file should appear.

I tried ls -las but it still is no where to be found. I am working with DS 5.2 if that helps.
