I want to link a Progress DB to MS SQL Server. I use the guide on:
Progress KB - How to link to a Progress / OpenEdge database from Microsoft SQL Server using a Progress / OpenEdge ODBC Driver ?
Local on my Windows 8 notebook, I have also installed a MS SQL Management Studio.
"1) Setup an ODBC connection to the Progress eatabase in the ODBC Administrator in the System DSN. Make sure the connection successfully establishes."
So I looked under System-DNS and find it. It is called pA52_T2_ODBC. 32-Bit. Progress OpenEdge 10.2B Driver. When I test the connection, it says "Connection established!". So I think step 1 is done.
"2) Bring up SQL Server Management Studio, connect to Object Explorer. Under Server Objects -> Linked Servers, Right click -> New Linked Server. 3) Provide the information to following options:
Linked server - Provide the name you will use to refer to this linked server. Server Type - Select "Other data source" as server type. Clicking this option activates the options below it. Provider - Microsoft OLE DB provider for ODBC driver. Product name - it could be anything but better to use progress since it is a progress database. Data source - ODBC System DSN name. The rest of the options can be left blank".
And now it doesn't work! I get an Error-Msg: The linked server has been updated but failed a connection test... Error: 7303.
Why works the connection test in step 1, but not with step 2?
Any ideas?
