About Data Sources

Default data sources for the Application Engine and Common Log databases are provided by SBM. For new installations, SBM_AE is used for the Application Engine and SBM_CL is used for the Common Log database.

Application Engine Data Source
There are two data sources that are used to connect to the Application Engine database: the SBM Application Engine Web Server DSN, which you configure in SBM Configurator, and the SBM System Administrator DSN, which you configure in SBM System Administrator.

Tip: If you are upgrading from SBM 10.1.3 or earlier, SBM Configurator will continue to use the Mashup2009 for the Web server DSN after you upgrade. You can continue to use this DSN, or rename it at any time. If you change the Web server DSN in SBM Configurator, and you want the SBM System Administrator DSN to match, you must manually update the DSN in SBM System Administrator.
Common Log Data Source
The Application Engine server uses the Common Log data source to connect to the Common Log database. This enables you to use a dedicated ODBC connection for Application Engine to connect to the Common Log database using the connection parameters and security information that are required by your DBMS.

Configuring Data Sources

Click the Change that appears next to either data source to create, rename, or use an existing data source.

To create a new data source with default settings, select Create a new data source, and then enter a new data source name. The new data source appears on the Database Servers tab.
To rename the data source that is currently being used, select Rename current data source, and then enter a different data source name. The renamed data source appears on the Database Servers tab.
To use an existing data source on the server instead of the default data sources that are provided by SBM, click Select an existing data source, and then select the existing data source from the Data source name drop-down list. The server will use this data source to connect to the database.
Important: You must select the check box that appears below the drop-down list to preserve any custom settings in your existing data source.

If you select an existing data source that uses an unsupported driver, SBM Configurator warns you about using the driver, and then automatically selects the check box and marks it as read-only in order to prevent any inadvertent changes to the data source.
