Edit the SERVER.MAP FILE
This system file helps establish the interface and connection between Thoroughbred products and ODBC-compliant databases. It is located in the Thoroughbred root directory. If the file does not exist, you can create it as a simple ASCII file.
Entries in the SERVER.MAP file are formatted in the following way:
server-ID:data-source- server-ID

- :
- separates the server-ID from the data-source.
- data-source
- is the data source name specified to Microsoft Windows. For example, in Step 2 of the procedure described in Chapter 2, the data-source was NewSource.
Valid data source names can contain the letters A through Z, the letters a through z, and the digits 0 through 9. Data source names are case sensitive.
In the example in the preceding chapter, the entry in the SERVER.MAP was specified as:
