With the database and the DSN in place the ITP/MDK Repository need to be told to use them. To do this choose from the menu item in the menu.
This will open the itprep.ini file in a text editor.
The entry that need to be changed is the [ODBC] entry. This entry looks something like this:
[ODBC]
DSN=your_DSN
user=your_user
password=your_user_password
The values after (=) must be changed. Enter the name of the DSN you just created after DSN=, enter the user name you want to connect to the database after user= and enter the password for that user after password=.
