Dumb question: What is the issue with the ODBC driver?

Hello Dhagen

ODBC driver is not installed in the Progress database server, Only JDBC driver is available. How can i connect the progress database using JDBC driver ?

Thanks

The jdbc driver will need to be on the machine where data migrator is installed and in the CLASSPATH environmental variable. Then you will configure a generic jdbc adapter to connect to it. You will need to know the driver name and jdbc connection to your progress database server as well as a user id and password.

Hope that helps


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Currently Information Builders supports Progress through an ODBC adapter on UNIX and Windows. It's documented in Adapter Administration chapter "Using the Adapter for Progress." We recommend using this.

Information Builders does not at this time provide a JDBC adapter for Progress. It may be possible to use the generic JDBC adapter although it's not been tested with Progress. It's documented in the same manual in the chapter "Using the Adapter for JDBC."

1) Information Builders doesn't supply JDBC drivers for Progress (or any RDBMS). You need to obtain the JDBC driver from the database vendor. Please see OpenEdge JDBC Driver

2) Follow the instructions provided with driver.

3) Follow the instructions in the reference above.
