Configuring System DSN for UCCX8

Hi,
I was just about to post a query re. configuring the System DSN for wallboards in UCCX 8.
I followed the instructions on pages 461-463 of the document below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_8_0/configuration/guide/uccx801ag.pdf
However when I tested the connection I got a message stating INFORMIXSERVER does not match either DBSERVERNAME or DBSERVERALIASES
My UCCX server was called UCCXDAT01 and I had entered UCCXDAT01_uccx for the Server Name.
After some troubleshooting (verifying that the machine I was configuring the System DSN on could ping the UCCX server) I eventually worked out the problem - the entry for the Server Name has to be in lower case. I changed it to uccxdat01_uccx and the test completed successfully.
Hope this helps others that run into the same issue.

Yes, Its little bit tricky when you are setting DSN connection - Always follow the below stated conventions
==============
•Convert all upper case letters to lower case.
•Replace hyphens with underscore.
•Add the letter “i” as a prefix to the instance name, if the host name starts with a number.
•Append the letters "_uccx" to the instance name.
For example, if the host name is "802UCCX-Ha-Node1", then you should enter "i802uccx_ha_node1_uccx” in the server name field.
========
There is a interesting post on this

Setting System DSN for MS Access Database using Java Code

How to set the system DSN for Access database using Java Code at runtime....???
Replies are deeply appreciated...

I found a 3rd Party MS Access JDBC Driver from a Google search. I downloaded and tried the free trial version. It worked fine but we opted not to purchase the full version and went a different route. If you don't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can track down the name of the product we tested.

Cannot access remote FoxPro dbf file using jdbc-odbc and system DSN

Hi all,
I have a foxpro database sitting on remote server (netware server). the dbf folder is shared and I can access it using windows explore on my weblogic server (windows 2003). I created a system dsn for that. I can access the database from the a stand alone java program using
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection surgConn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:FoxDB", " ", " ");
But when I use the same thing in my weblogic 8.1 application, I cannot access the database. I didn't config any data source in weblogic 8.1
Why?
When I try this on my own computer - windows 2000, weblogic 8.1 workshop. remote foxpro database dbf folder. it works.
Any idea?
Thanks very much

should work OK (though I have a better way)... Be warned that the JDBC ODBC
bridge is specifically dangerous. It is not threadsafe.

Remove odbc system dsn using batch file and odbcconf

I create user system dsn entries by using a batch file and odbcconf call. I've found references here on how to do that, yet cannot seem to find any results on how to remove them using that same call. The library information (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee388579(VS.85).aspx) states add and modify a system dsn for configdsn and configsysdsn and references equivalent to SQLConfgDataSource function. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms716476(VS.85).aspx) but the config data source function has a a removal and this doesn't seem too.
Apologies for being obtuse, but I can't seem to locate it. Any links to how this is done from a batch file are much appreciated.
Regards,
NR.

John C is basically correct, you can remove a System ODBC data source via the registry, but there is apparently no way via odbcconf.exe. That is of course really stupid and poor programming!
John, however, forgot another important registry entry. That key deletion he mentioned will disable the odbc connection, but not remove it entirely. If you just do that and then open the "ODBC Data Source Administrator", you will find the
connection is still listed, but you can't remove it or modify it. It becomes completely screwed up! There is a value to delete as well which dictates if the connection is listed. Consider it the "header" to the data source.
Also, in Windows 2003 and 2008 at least, the registry key John C listed is not quite the location to modify either. This is where to find them in those OSs:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\%DSN%
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\%DSN%
The "header" I reffered to is a string value in inside a key (not the whole key!)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources
The string value is the data source name. This entry must be removed to remove the data source listing entirely.
Here are some batch snipets for creating and then removing an odbc data source. I'm leaving out some premiliary chunks, but you can figure it out from here. If you can't, you probably shouldn't be messing with this stuff in the first place!
In these scripts, I create and remove a 32-bit data source in either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows. The windows folder variable gets set to either "C:\Windows\System32" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64" depending on the os. In case you didn't
know, on a 64-bit machine there is are also 2 differrent versions of the "ODBC Data Source Administrator" gui tool and the data source lists differ (32-bit vs 64-bit lists). The 32-bit version on a 64 bit OS is found at "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe".
The one in the start menu will load the 64-bit version so you will never find your 32-bit connections there.
Note - for simplicity I use the database name as the user name and and the data source name as well (in case there was any confusion).
Create the connection like so:
echo Creating 32-Bit System ODBC Connection "%DatabaseName%"...
"!WindowsFolder!\ODBCCONF.EXE" CONFIGSYSDSN "!ODBCDriver!" "DSN=%DatabaseName%;Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=%DatabaseName%;UID=%DatabaseName%;PWD=%DatabasePassword%"
And then remove it like this:
echo Removing 32-Bit System ODBC Connection "%DatabaseName%"...
if "%WindowsBits%"=="32" (
If Exist "!TempRegFile!" Del "!TempRegFile!"
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo.>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\%DatabaseName%]>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo "%DatabaseName%"=->>"!TempRegFile!"
regedit /s "!TempRegFile!"
) else (
If Exist "!TempRegFile!" Del "!TempRegFile!"
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo.>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\%DatabaseName%]>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources]>>"!TempRegFile!"
echo "%DatabaseName%"=->>"!TempRegFile!"

Create ODBC system DSN Dynamically ?

Hey Guru ,
Does any one know how to create a system DSN for CSV and
EXCEL dynamically using coldfusion or any other languauge VB ?, on
net there are loads of examples for access and MSSQL server but
none forCSV or EXCEL
Thanks a lot in advance ..

I just tried it again as a Startup Script in the GPO, it only is applied if I add the user to the local Admins Group.
A startup script is applied to a computer at reboot. It is not applied to an OU with users. Apply the GPO to the computer container.
Just use the GPO that defines DSNs.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

System DSN

We have a 3rd party application that uses a system dsn to connect to a database. We moved the database to a new server. We kept the database name and the username. We have to use SQL Authentication. Pointing the dsn to the new server is easy. I can do this
through the registry. On the new server, we changed the password for SQL Authentication. We have not gone live yet. I have to change the password on the system dsn for 400 workstations. Can some one point me to a tool or script that allows me to change
the password.
Thank you.

It's more a question for powershell/system administration.
System DSN's are saved into registry. If you have access to their registry them you can execute it to all remote workstations.
You can do it with powershell.
I'd do it with psexec (www.sysinternals.com) and a batch file to execute the
Create e.g. a file named regimport.bat
regedit.exe /S exportedregistry.reg
on the remote machines
Command Line:
psexec @filewithallcomputers.txt -u domain\admin -p password \\server\\share\\regimport.bat
You also should create a text file containing all the computers you want this to run... (I named filewithallcomputers.txt)
You can export the value from the registry so you can remotely import it(careful for differences between 32/64bit).
This will help:

Modify ODBC System DSNs with scripts

Hi All;
I work in Windows 7 and have set System DSNs for our SQL servers. We have several of them each corresponding to a different environment ( dev vs uat vs production ) and I have to constantly switch from one environment to another for debugging and/or testing.
I was wondering if there was a way to modify the settings (only need to change the SQL Server name) via a command line, script or powershell without having to open the ODBC control panel all the time?
kaedee

Here is what I did;
* opened regedit
* found the key i needed to change
* exported the key as a .reg file
* made the changes I needed to the .reg file
now I am able to apply the changes to the database name simply by opening/executing the .reg files
thanks

Configuring an Informix System DSN to link to Unity Connection

Hi,
I want to use the wallet card wizard from ciscounitytools and to do so I need to use the Informix ODBC drivers to link to Unity Connection.
However I cannot find the the information required to set up a System DSN under Windows XP. Specifically I cannot find what the Database Name should be set to.
When I have done similar connections to UCCX for wallboard data etc. the database name was db_cra.
Can anyone tell me what it should be for Unity Connection?
Thanks

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the reponse. I am not too hot on databases either but my understanding is that a System DSN has to be created under Windows for each database link.
Below is an image from my PC for the System DSN that I configured when I was setting up a System DSN to link to a UCCX server.
The setup requires a database name to be entered. This is easy for UCCX - it is db_cra - but I cannot find which database name I need to use for Unity Connection.
I am happy to be proved incorrect about the requirement for a System DSN if anyone can advise me otherwise.
Cheers
James

Installed MySQL ODBC, system DSN configured and working, provider still not showing in SQL 2005 provider list

As per the title, really.
I need to fetch data periodically from a MySQL DB. Installed the 5.1 MySQL 32bit ODBC driver onto the SQL server, configured and tested the DSN, all fine.
Provider still not showing in the list in Management Studio.
Can anyone offer any advice? is it a simple case of restarting services? I haven't tried that due to the server being in production.

Hello,
Is this a 64 bit SQL Server? For a linked server you can only use OleDB data provider, have you also installed OleDB for MySQL? If not, then you have to use the ODBC OleDB provider together with a System DSN.
