Step: Create the ODBC or native connections on the Campaign machine

The machine on which the Campaign server is installed must be able to communicate with the database that holds the Interact design environment test run tables. These tables may be the same as your customer (user) tables. If so, the connection will already have been created when Campaign was installed.

If the Interact design environment test run tables are not the same as your customer (user) tables, use the following guidelines to create the ODBC or native connection to the database that holds them.

For databases on UNIX™: You create a new native data source in an ODBC.ini file. The procedure for creating a native data source differs depending on the data source type and the version of UNIX™. See the data source and operating system documentation for specific ODBC driver installation and configuration instructions.

For databases on Windows™: You create a new ODBC data source in the Control Panel's Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC) section.

Record the connection names in the IBM Interact database information checklist
