Cannot connect to an EA MySQL repository using ODC
« on: August 03, 2012, 06:57:03 am »
Hi

I am planning on using MySQL for my EA repositories so I have:
- Downloaded and installed the latest MySQL (5.5.x)
- Created a new schema using the MySQL interface
- Downloaded the initializing script for InnoDB and executed it successfully
- Created a User DNS pointing to the created schema and checked the options needed as documented by Sparx
- Testing the connection works just fine.

Now I want to connect to the newly created database from EA and here is where the fun starts. When I try to connect I get errors as:
- Unspecified Error
- Catalog information cannot be retrieved

What am I doing wrong?

I am using EA 9.3 latest, greatest on Windows 7 64 bit.

Henrik

Solved it!! I didn't create the ODBC driver using tht 32bit ODBC tool. Once I did that instead of using the standard 64bits ODBC tool, it worked!
