Progress -> ODBC Connection

[Jenie888]

I am trying to connect to Docuware (Document Imaging Software) which is on a Sequel server through an ODBC connection from Progress. We have used an ODBC connection to connect to progress, however I have never tried to connect from progress to an external ODBC source.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this, or know of any products out there that can help me?

Any help with this would be greatly appricated.

Thanks!

Progress Dataserver works for this; we used it to connect from a progress session (AIX unix self service chUI session) to a MS/SQL database.

Setup the dataserver as per install instructions, create a schema holder, etc. and use something like this for command line startup params:

pro sholder -db edids -dt ODBC -ld edildb -H vanntx -S 5162 -N TCP -U admin -P password -DataService odbbroker1 -Dsrv SVUB,1

Thanks for responding!

Question: Is the Progress dataserver just the normal Progress or an add on?

Thanks Again,

The Dataserver require a special serial number that you have to grab from Progress.
