We confirmed that the icons for it existed on the system and all the jars were present but we simply couldn't find this thing anywhere. Frankly finding Carmen... [More]

ITM Integration Series: Making connections the ODBC way!
In this blog I will explore the data source connections used by ITM when running on a Windows host and take you through the steps I recently used to troubleshoot a problem connection between the warehouse proxy agent and a remote Tivoli Data Warehouse (TDW). One distinction that is important is if you are using a 64-bit Windows machine, you may have two sets of DSN (Data Source Names) defined for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications. If the HD agent is installed as a 64-bit application, you will want to focus on the DSN settings found when... [More]
