ODBC Setup:

 

To set up the SQL Server ODBC Data Source perform the following on the client PC:

 

Ensure you are logged onto the PC with a user that has FULL ADMINISTRATOR control.

 

1.  From the start menu, go into settings and select Control Panel.

    (You can also run "ODBCAD32.EXE" from the command line)

    (To setup DSN for 32-bit application on a 64 bit machine you must use:

        %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

 

2.  Double Click on Administrative Tools (you may have to select Classic View on the left side of the screen).

3.  Double Click on Data Sources (ODBC).

4.  Go to the System DSN Tab.

5.  Click Add.

6.  Select SQL Server at the bottom of the List and click Finish.

7.  Under Name enter the same name as your database (ie CFXWMS or CFXSAMPLE).

8.  Under Server, either select from the list or enter <your servername>\SQLEXPRESS (ie Server\SQLEXPRESS)

9.  Click Next.

10. Check With SQL Server Authentication…

11. Enter Login ID: cfx and leave the password blank.

12. Click Next.

            If you get an error that you cannot connect to the server, you may need some custom settings.

            If you have another pc in the system that is connecting properly, check the ODBC settings on that pc.

                        Also, note the settings when you click the Client Configuration so you can replicate them on the pc being setup.

 

13. Click Change Default Database and select the database being setup (ie CFXWMS or CFXSAMPLE) from the list.

14. Click Next.

15. Click Next.

16. Click Finish.

Network Icon Setup:

 

To set up the Icon on the client PC perform the following:

 

  1. Share the Coreflex folder on the server that has the Coreflex software on it.  It is located on the server in C:\Program Files\Coreflex.
  2. Make sure you have read and write privileges to the following folders on the shared folders: (Note 1)
    1. C:\Program Files\COREflex\Rel_2.4.6a\CFXWMS\Bin
    2. C:\Program Files\COREflex\Rel_2.4.6a\CFXWMS\Foundation
  3. Browse to the C:\Program Files\COREflex\Rel_2.4.6a\CFXWMS\Bin folder on the server and right click on Tabshell.exe application.
  4. Create a shortcut (icon) to the application and place it on the client desktop.
  5. Right click on the icon and select properties.
  6. Change the Start in ‘Bin’ to be ‘Foundation’.
  7. Close the properties window.

 

 You should now be able to run Coreflex from the icon you set up.

 

Note 1:  If Coreflex will not start or if you receive an error, ensure the windows user that you are logged on with has read and write privileges to the Bin and Foundation folders.  You can test the read & write capability by trying to save a notepad file to the folders.

    Architecture Mismatch: The Specified DSN contains a architecture mismatch between the driver and the application. This is typically due to setting up the ODBC using the 32 ODBCAD32.EXE on a 64 bit operating system. Remove the ODBC that was set up and set it up using the %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
