  JDBC
  driver cannot be loaded
  sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

  Proxy Agent and its ODBC Driver that is used during the normal
  functioning of the Agent is not impacted.
  

Problem summary

• Clicking the "Test connection" button that tests the Windows
  Warehouse Proxy Agent connection to its ODBC Driver fails with
  the following error popup message displayed to the user,
  
  JDBC driver cannot be loaded
  sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
  
  
  The Warehouse Proxy Agent Windows configuation utility relies on
  the JDBCODBC bridge jar file from the JRE package to test
  connectivity to the Windows ODBC Driver Manager.  Release 8 of
  the JRE,  which is packaged with 630 FP7 SP3,  no longer
  contains this jar file.
  

Problem conclusion

• Replace the JDBCODBC Driver method calls with a native function
  that performs the connectivity test.
