How-To Configure ODBC in OpsCenter-1

Overview OpsCenter uses a SQL Anywhere database from Sybase. You can download the ODBC drivers for it at ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/opscenter/odbc/sqlanywhere_11_odbc.zip
Installation
Unzip the ODBC drivers into a directory where youd like to keep them permanently. Open up a command prompt and change the directory to the expanded folder and run the install.bat script
Note: The installation process writes the location of the odbc drivers into the system registry and moving the files or renaming the folder after the installation will cause the ODBC drivers and any DSN youve setup to stop functioning. If you ever have to move the directory containing the ODBC drivers, simply run install.bat again from the new location. The script will update the registry with the new location.
