To Configure a System DSN

System DSNs can be used by anyone logged on to the computer on which they are defined. System DSNs are easier for you to configure and administer because you do it just once for all users.

On the computer on which you want the data source to reside, logged on as an administrator:

1. From the Windows Start menu choose:

   Settings > Control Panel

2. Select Administrative Tools and then Data Sources.
3. Click the System DSN tab.
4. Click Add.
5. Select a driver from the list. If you are configuring a data source that uses the IBM® Corp. data access technology, the Connect ODBC driver names are labeled with the text IBM Corp. OEM.
6. Click Finish.
7. Enter the appropriate information into the Driver Setup dialog box.
8. Click OK.
