Running CV11 And CV10 For ODBC

This document lists the steps for running CV10 and CV11 for ODBC on the same PC. This is provided for testing purposes during this transitional phase. It requires that you have already installed CV10 and CV11 on the PC.

You need two data sources, one for CV10 and one for CV11. If ODBC for CV10 is already set up, then you have a data source "Velocis RDS" and a connect.ini in the Windows folder.

Install the CV11 ODBC driver.

To do this, navigate to CV11\bin from the command line and run

instodbc -a C:\CV11\bin RDS

to create a unique data source for CV11.

Now you have RDS and Velocis RDS in the Data Source Administrator.

In the connect.ini that CV10 uses from the Windows folder, you have an [RDS] entry with the Port for CV10.

Add an identical entry but with the Port for CV11. Or, you may simply open the connect.ini in the CV11\bin folder and copy the [RDS] section so that you have the correct Port number.

Now you have two [RDS] sections in the connect.ini in Windows, identical except for the Port number.

You can now run CV10 and CV11 servers on this box, open Collect! CV10 and CV11 on this box, and the CV11Client as well.

And you can access the RDS data source for ODBC for CV11 and the Velocis RDS data source for ODBC for CV10.
