Interface o8 on linux to aolserver

Question

I'm trying to set up AOL SErver to maintain pools to an oracle
database with the ACS toolkit but i'm running into problems.
The AOLSERVER log keeps reporting that the connection is null.
I think the problem lies in the ODBC datasource option of the
AOLSERVER configuration. I have no idea what to put in this
field. Thank you for your suggestions. If you could cc a reply
to my email it would be appreciated.

I am sure you don't want to hear this, but as a unix hack and
database administrator, I put together a script which uses "dd"
to hot backup the database nightly to tape. It works pretty
well. If anything fails, it sends me e-mail. Not quite the
graphical solution that Legatto might offer, but the price and
piece of mind is right. The only issues I've had with the
backups is that my Linux (Rethat 5.2) has problems writing to my
tape drive every now and then (I get e-mailed of course). Not
sure about Legatto on Linux. We use it on Solaris and it, along
with any other media managment tool, has it's problems.
