ODBC Entries - Oracle 11g 1.2

ODBC Entries - Oracle 11g by FM Global is a lightweight administrative utility that creates and maintains standardized ODBC Data Source Name (DSN) configurations for applications that connect to Oracle Database 11g. It streamlines deployment across Windows desktops and servers by packaging preapproved connection settings, improving consistency, and reducing configuration errors.

Key features:

• Creates and updates User and System DSNs for 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle ODBC drivers
• Supports both TNS-based connections and direct host:port/service name (EZCONNECT) formats
• Applies standardized naming conventions and parameters (service name/SID, port, failover, encryption, and timeouts)
• Validates the presence of required Oracle client components and network files (for example, tnsnames.ora)
• Includes connection testing and detailed logging to aid troubleshooting and auditing
• Offers silent/command-line operation for scripted or enterprise-wide deployment via software distribution tools
• Manages only the necessary ODBC-related registry entries and environment variables to minimize configuration drift

Benefits:

• Faster, more reliable application onboarding and updates
• Reduced help desk tickets related to DSN configuration mismatches
• Consistent, policy-driven settings that support security and compliance

System requirements:

• Microsoft Windows (32-bit and 64-bit supported)
• Oracle 11g ODBC driver and Oracle client/network components installed
• Network access to the target Oracle 11g databases
• Administrative rights for creating or modifying System DSNs

Note: This tool does not include Oracle software or licenses. It relies on an existing Oracle 11g client installation and driver.
