Configuring IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Match Designer

The IBM® InfoSphere® QualityStage® Match Designer requires an ODBC data source name (DSN) to connect to the database where the Match Designer stores match pass results.

Before you begin

Designate a new or existing database to be dedicated to the storage of Match Designer output. See Creating the IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Match Designer database.

Procedure

  1. On each client tier and engine tier computer, define a System DSN that points to the Match Designer database. The ODBC DSN must have the same name on each computer.
    You might want to select from the set of IBM Wire Protocol ODBC drivers installed as part of the IBM InfoSphere Information Server environment. These drivers are convenient because their functionality does not depend on the presence of any additional database-specific client software.
  2. On each client tier computer, open the Match Designer and run a Test Environment Update for your match specification.
    When you run this function, the connection to the Match Designer database is established and your encrypted credentials are retained.
