ODBC connection in Data Pipeline or Data Flow Gen2 in Microsoft Fabric

[Sathish133]

Hi,

I am trying to connect the ODBC source in Microsoft Fabric either Data Pipeline (Copy Activity) or Data Flow Gen2.

I have installed the ODBC driver "DataDirect HDP 4.6" in my laptop and created the System DSN with the client specific details like Service Name, port number, Hybrid Data Pipeline Source, user name & password and finally tested the DSN and test is successful.

Then I have installed the On-premises data gateway in my laptop and which is showing status as online in Microsoft Fabric.

Now I have tried to create the ODBC connection in Microsoft Fabric Data Pipeline Gen2, but which is throghing the error

"An exception occurred: ODBC: ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (Session ID: xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Region: us)"

Can you please help, where I am missing something.

Below are the screenshots

Hi @Sathish133 ,

I encountered a similar issue while connecting our Deltek Production database to Fabric using the ODBC connector. Here are the steps I followed:

• Installed the ODBC driver ‘DataDirect HDP 4.6’ on the SQL server.
• Created a System DSN (Data Source Name) with client-specific details, including the Service Name, port number, Hybrid Data Pipeline Source, username, and password
• Successfully tested the DSN.

• Installed the On-premises data gateway in Sql Server and which is showing status as online in Microsoft Fabric.

• Now I have tried to create the ODBC connection in Microsoft Fabric Data Flow, but which is throghing below error

  An exception occurred: ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [DataDirect][ODBC Hybrid driver][Hybrid]HTTP library error: Perform failed. (3, The URL was not properly formatted.)

Could you please identify what I'm missing here, and that could be a big help for me.

Thank you and appreciating you help and time.

Hi @FabricLearner,

In your Fabric Data Flow ODBC connection, Please mention ODBC Connection String as 

dsn=Deltek_Fabric_Odbc

You have to mention your exact ODBC DSN name in the connection string area and then connect. I hope this will resolve the issue.

Note : ODBC Driver, ODBS DSN and On Premise Data Gateway - All should present in the same host.

Hi,

While creating the connection, we should not use {}. After removing {} connection established succesfully.
