changing uvconfig.odbc & odbc.ini files

Post by rickrambo »

Guys
We have to add some additional DNS names into odbc.ini & uvconfig.odbc files. Can I do just ask the admin to go ahead and add the entries even while others are accessing the box (they may be using a DB stage or they may not)? What happens if somebody is accessing those files? If job using a ODBC driver is running, will the job still uses ODBC.ini file even after the connection is established?

Welcome aboard. :D

You should be fine all around as long as you don't hork up any existing definitions you care about. They are only used to establish the connection AFAIK, so I'd be surprised if it would bother anyone who is already hooked up.
