How to Set Up Thoroughbred Data

After the Thoroughbred TS ODBC DataServer software is loaded, the TS ODBC DataServer Expose Utility is executed to build the information that will be used by the ODBC driver to access Thoroughbred data. This process will produce a set of data that will be used by the server. This data is generated from the Dictionary-IV format and link definitions. When Thoroughbred data is made available for access via ODBC applications, it is considered exposed.

This section explains how to configure and execute the TS ODBC DataServer Expose Utility. The section titled Technical Information and Troubleshooting details the technical information for the Expose Utility and a set of troubleshooting steps to resolve errors.

This utility should be installed and executed from only one place on a system. Because of the nature of the configuration data, conflicts will occur if multiple non-concurrent or concurrent sessions are run. However, multiple data environments (i.e. different IPL files) will be supported which will allow data from various environments to be exposed while running the utility from one central location.
