APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When the connection string option is used in the ODBC connector within the datasource property ( example DSN=SAMPLE;DB=XMETA ) the connection will fail with the error message " insufficient informtion to connect to the datasource ". The connector should be able to pick up the username and password from the respective property fields in the GUI and add them to the connection string. Note: the password portion of the connection string should never be visible in clear text as this would be a major security risk.
Local fix
