Chapter 2: Configuring Security Database Connections

Creating the cluster DSN on UNIX

Use this procedure if the e-Biz Impact server is installed on a UNIX system.

Navigate to the odbc.ini file, which is located in:

../Sybase/ImpactServer-5_4/odbc
Open odbc.ini in a text editor.
Add a DSN entry to [ODBC Data Sources] stanza.

In the [ODBC Data Sources] section; after the line “ASA=Adaptive Server Anywhere,” add:
```
IMPACT_DSN=Adaptive Server Anywhere
```
where IMPACT_DSN must match the Data Source Name that you specify for the DSN for the Authorization Console client; for example, Auth_DSN.
Add the DSN connectivity information to the end of the file. At the end of the file, add these lines:
```
[IMPACT_DSN]
```
```
Driver=/Sybase/ImpactServer-5_4/asa/libdbodbc8_r.so
```
```
Description=Adaptive Server Anywhere
```
```
CommLinks=tcpip(DOBROADCAST=DIRECT;HOST=localhost;PORT=2638)
```
```
ServerName=IMPACT
```
where the Driver path, PORT number, and ServerName should reflect your environment, and must correspond to the values used to start the authorization database. If necessary, change the library extension (.so) according to the UNIX platform on which you are creating the DSN.
Save the file and close the text editor.
