Using the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator

You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to edit the DSN configuration. Note that the DSN is created during the installation process.

Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration:

1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box.
2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your application (32-bit or 64-bit).
3. Click the System DSN tab.
4. Select the system data source and click Configure.
5. Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK.

Note: For .NET Framework 4.0, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable. For .NET Framework 3.5, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.

Ensuring Registry Access

The driver stores connection information in the Windows registry. To ensure that the driver can write to the registry, perform either of the following actions:

1. Run the calling application as an administrator.
2. Connect via a User DSN instead of a System DSN.

Connecting to Adobe Experience Manager JCR Repository

This connection allows you to access content stored in an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) JCR repository using WebDAV. The JCR (Java Content Repository) is the underlying storage system used by AEM to manage content nodes, properties, and metadata. You can connect to both local AEM instances and cloud-based AEM environments.

1. Set the URL to the WebDAV-enabled JCR server.
   • Local development: http://localhost:4502/crx/server
   • AEM as a Cloud Service: https://XXXX-pXXXX-eXXXX.adobeaemcloud.com/crx/server
2. Depending on the AuthScheme used:
   • For Basic make sure to provide User and Password.
   • For None no authentication is required and no additional configuration is necessary.

Once the connection is configured, you can query JCR nodes and properties exposed through the WebDAV endpoint using standard SQL queries. Ensure that the configured user has sufficient permissions to access the required content paths in the AEM repository.
