Verifying the ODBC data source

The Siebel Configuration Wizard for the Siebel Enterprise creates the .odbc.ini file (note the dot at the beginning of the file name, which makes it a hidden file), which contains the library and driver information for the ODBC driver delivered with the Siebel software installer.

We can locate the file in the sys directory of the Siebel Gateway Name Server installation folder. The following screenshot shows the .odbc.ini file created by the Siebel Configuration Wizard.

The [SIEBELX_DSN] entry defines the ODBC data source for the Siebel enterprise named SIEBELX.

Note

You can now execute the Siebel Configuration Wizard and create a new Siebel Enterprise. Use the table provided in this chapter and your planning document to enter the correct parameter values.
