InterSystems Caché Specific Configuration Settings

 

Please note the following specific settings.

 

  • Select the ODBC Data Provider to connect. The provider is part of the Windows Operating System and should be already installed.
  • You need the InterSystems Caché ODBC driver installed (64-bit or 32-bit version depending on architecture and installed Cloud Connector). This comes usually with the Caché implementation.
  • Follow the vendor instructions to setup and configure. See here for an example to setup an ODBC data source.
  • Use a System DSN (not User or File DSN) to setup your connection and to refer to in the connection string. Verify your setup directly in the ODBC Connection Manager, if supported.
  • You can use a connection string like this to connect:
    DSN=Trycache64samples
    Please find more details about ODBC options at www.connectionstrings.com.
  • You can make use of ODBC to query your data as supported by the data provider and source system. For any specification of query language supported see vendor documentation.
  • You can map your data fields to specific external source fields in the Layer2 Cloud Connector. Please take care about data types (simple type conversions are supported).
  • Please enter an appropriate primary key (column with unique values), depending on query (see data preview for this).
