System Data Source Name (DSN)

A system data source name (DSN) is a user-defined name that links a database driver to a database. You must configure a DSN to access the default install_dir \tmgr_vn.n\pmgr\tmgrnn.mdb database (where n.n and nn represent the current Trading Manager version number). The Trading Manager Installation documentation describes how to create and configure a system DSN.

The DSN enables direct access to the database using an application like Partner Manager. When configuring open database connectivity (ODBC) DSN, you must create a DSN for each database to which you connect.
