ODBC Data Sources Test Case

Quality Assurance module only.
If Test Expert detects ODBC data sources in a package, the ODBC Data Sources test
case appears. Use it to check whether an ODBC data source has been created correctly
and whether the data source is accessible.
This test can be run only if the package being tested is currently installed.
To run the test case
1. Select the ODBC Data Sources test case in the left pane of Test Expert.
All ODBC data sources installed by the package are listed.
2. Mark the check boxes of the ODBC data sources to test.
3. Click Execute.
Test Expert examines the ODBCDataSource table and then examines the data
sources that are registered with ODBC. For each data source, the test item is
marked passed if the data source is installed and could be connected to.
When the tests are finished, the dialog box closes and the statuses are displayed in
the Status column.
4. Select the overall status of the test case in Status of Test Case.
To troubleshoot failures
To see the returned error, double-click an item and look in the Test Details field on the
Test Item Details dialog box.
If an ODBC test item fails for an .MSI, open the package in Windows Installer Editor and
check the ODBCDataSource table. Make sure the data source was actually installed.

the object.
This test is run automatically by Test Expert. It can be run only if the package being
tested is currently installed.
To run the test case
1. Select the Prog IDs test case in the left pane of Test Expert.
All ProgIDs installed by the package are listed.
2. Mark the check boxes of the ProgIDs to test.
