Configuring the Microsoft ODBC Driver to connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse

To apply the EBF, perform the following steps:
    1. Install the Microsoft ODBC drivers for Windows and Linux operating systems. To download the drivers, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server#microsoft-odbc-driver-131-for-sql-server.
    2. Before you can run tasks to connect to Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse using the ODBC connection from Linux, you must set the ODBCINI and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variables for the driver and create the DSN entries. Add the path of the odbc.ini file to the ODBCINI environment variable.
    setenv ODBCINI "/data/home/adputf_9/cloud_td/ODBCINI/odbc.ini"
    3. To set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, use the following syntax:
    setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0"
    4. Add entries for the Microsoft Azure SQL Data Warehouse data sources in the odbc.ini file.
    The following section shows a sample entry in the odbc.ini file:

    [Sample Azure DW ODBC DSN]
    [SD_Azure_DW]
    Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0
    Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server
    Server=dghhgx2ad3.database.windows.net
    Database=INFASQLDW_DEV
    LogonID=infadwadmin
    Password=
    QuotedId=Yes
    AnsiNPW=Yes
    EncryptionMethod=1
    SeedBeforeConnect=1
    EnableQuotedIdentifiers=1
    ValidateServerCertificate=0
    DriverUnicodeType=1
    5. Run the installer attached in the EBF CON-4437.
    6. Restart the Secure Agent.
