Troubleshooting
Problem
When you make a new IBM Rational RequisiteWeb project and you select SQL Server as the database type, the DSN list is empty.
Symptom
- You added the DSNs successfully and tested with the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator as a system DSN.
- You run a 64-bit Windows operating system.
- You created the SQL Server DSNs with the default DSN Manager.
Cause
By default the 64-bit operating system starts the 64-bit Data Source Administration tool. IBM Rational RequisiteWeb does not accept the 64-bit System DSN, because it is a 32-bit application.
Resolving The Problem
Add the DSN to the 32-bit DSN configuration tool. You can find this tool in the following location.
C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
You will now be able to see the DSNs in the IBM Rational RequisiteWeb client.
