Hi,
I am trying to get an ODBC database connection registered as a data store with my ArcGIS Server instance.
I created an ODBC connection to an Oracle database. The connection works in ArcGIS Desktop. I can add and view tables and their data. Now, when I try and register the database connection as a data store with the Server (to publish a service), I get the following error:
"The connection property set was missing a required property or the property value was unrecognized."
I get the message when using the Import button in the Data Store\Register Database section of the Server Properties, and selecting my ODBC connection.
I have installed both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for the ODBC connection type, and tried every permutation on the server and client of the driver sets. I have tried registering on the client and server, and with all permutations of both User and System DSN ODBC setups. I tried registering through the Server Manager, but it will only accept SDE files, not ODC (like was created for the ODBC connection).
I can see in the Server config-store where it stores the datastores, but I cannot just add my connection string because I dont have the encoded password it would create.
Does anyone have any ideas on what else I could try?
Is this even possible: to register an ODBC connection as a data store in ArcGIS server?
