Connections - SAP |
When creating a new SAP connection, if you partially define an SAP ASE ODBC DSN, then click "Cancel," and then switch to the Native tab of the New Connection dialog (or select a different connection type), Benchmark Factory quits unexpectedly. This is a known issue with the SAP ASE ODBC driver. To create a native SAP connection, use the Native tab of the New Connection dialog. To create an SAP ODBC connection, finish defining the SAP ODBC DSN in the ODBC tab of the New Connection dialog. |
