Hello CData Community,
I need some help troubleshooting issues I’m facing with setting up the CData ODBC Driver on my AMD 2 in 1 laptop. I’m hoping someone here might be able to assist.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
- Installed the CData ODBC Driver successfully without any errors.
- Configured a DSN using the ODBC Data Source Administrator and entered the necessary details for connecting to my data source.
- The connection test within the ODBC configuration returns successful, but when I attempt to connect through certain applications, the data source is either missing or cannot be accessed.
Challenges I’m Facing:
- Data Source Visibility: Despite successfully configuring the DSN, it doesn’t show up in applications like Excel or custom software that uses ODBC connections.
- Connection Issues: Occasionally, the connection fails to establish, or the application throws an error related to the data source.
What I’ve Already Tried:
- I’ve checked network settings and ensured that there are no firewall issues blocking the connection.
- I’ve also tried reconfiguring the DSN and ensuring that all authentication credentials are correct.
- Restarted both my laptop and the software I’m trying to connect with, but the problem persists.
Questions for the Community:
- Does anyone have experience configuring this driver on an AMD 2-in-1 laptop? Any specific configurations or tips that could help?
- What steps can I take to troubleshoot why the DSN doesn’t show up in applications?
- Are there any known solutions for intermittent connection failures or performance issues with this driver?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Let me know if I can provide any further details to help with troubleshooting.
Thanks in advance,
