An ODBC DSN tells the Log Collector how to reach an ODBC endpoint. You refer to an ODBC DSN when you configure a data source name with information such as which ODBC driver to use or the host name and port of the ODBC endpoint.

An ODBC DSN is a sequence of name‐value pairs. For information about the valid names for a given ODBC data source type, such as Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle, please download the DataDirect Connect Series for ODBC User's Guide and DataDirect Connect Series for ODBC User's Guide in the Progress DataDirect Document Library.
