Configuring Data Source Attributes for SequeLink

The MXCS version 2.0 installation includes the template file MXODSN, which contains

the information necessary for SequeLink servers that connect to MXCS server data

sources.

1. Edit the MXODSN file. The MXODSN file is installed in the ZMXODBC subvolume.

Change the MXODSN file so the attributes are set to correct values for your

system (for example, names of data sources and attributes describing them).

To use MXCS data sources, the data source name in MXODSN must exactly

match the data source name defined in the MXCS service (names are case

sensitive).

If the CATALOG and SCHEMA attributes are not defined in the MXODSN file,

MXCS uses the values that are defined through NSM/web or the default values, if

none are defined.

For details about attributes and settings in the MXODSN file see Table 3-9, Format

of the MXODSN file, on page 3-23 and , Example MXODSN file, on page 3-25.

2. Move the MXODSN file to the Guardian subvolume where you run SequeLink for

NonStop SQL/MX (where the SWSOC file is located) or to the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM

Guardian subvolume.

If an MXODSN file exists in the subvolume where SWSOC is located, MXCS uses

that MXODSN file. If there is no MXODSN file in that Guardian subvolume, MXCS

looks in $SYSTEM.SYSTEM for a MXODSN file.

MXODSN File Format

Table 3-9 describes the format of the MXODSN file and describes all the attributes.
