Installation Instructions

Before You Install

The SPSS Data Access Pack allows you to install any or all of the following
components:
! Connect ODBC drivers
! SequeLink ODBC client
! SPSS ODBC driver
! Online documentation for Connect ODBC and SequeLink in Adobe Acrobat

(PDF) format
! Acrobat Reader

These components allow you to retrieve data from databases in a network

environment. How you proceed depends on whether or not you have an SPSS system
administrator.
If you have an SPSS system administrator. Contact your SPSS system administrator for
information about how to configure your desktop computer with the SPSS Data
Access Pack. In some cases you will not need to install anything. If your administrator
tells you to run this setup procedure, follow his or her instructions. If you currently
have SPSS Data Access Pack drivers installed, do not reinstall them unless directed to
do so by your administrator.

SPSS Data Ac cess Pa ck 2.0 Installation Instructions

If you do not have an SPSS system administrator. If there is no system administrator at

your site, or if you are not using this SPSS product in a network environment, you can
install ODBC drivers by running this setup.
If you are an SPSS system administrator. Decide which database access technology you
want to use at your site. Then decide which client software to install and where to
install it. For more information about available database access technologies, refer to
Getting Started with SPSS Data Access Technology (in the documentation directory on
the CD-ROM).
If you have installed an earlier version of the SPSS Data Access Pack. See the Whats
New section in this document for information about what is new in this version and why
you might want to upgrade.

Note: If you are a Java developer and want to access data from Java applets or
applications, consider using Connect JDBC or the SequeLink JDBC Client, which are
included in the SPSS Data Access Pack. For more information, see the SPSS Data
Access Pack JDBC Installation Instructions (in the documentation directory on the
CD-ROM).

Whats New
If you have an SPSS administrator at your site, do not upgrade unless you are directed
to do so.
Connect ODBC News

All Connect ODBC drivers are now version 3.7, service pack 1. The earlier SPSS Data
Access Pack had version 3.6 drivers. The new version contains bug fixes and support
for additional database versions. You do not need to install it unless you are
experiencing a bug or need a driver that supports a recent database release.
Connect JDBC is now included with the SPSS Data Access Pack, in addition to the
SequeLink JDBC client. If you are a developer and you want more information, see the
SPSS Data Access Pack JDBC Installation Instructions (in the documentation
directory on the CD-ROM).

3
SPSS Data Ac cess Pa ck 2.0 Installation Instructions

SequeLink News

Clients for SequeLink Server 5.1 are now included. The previous version had 5.0 and
4.5 clients. You only need to install a SequeLink 5.1 client if you are using SequeLink
Server 5.1 at your site. SequeLink JDBC client installation instructions are in the SPSS
Data Access Pack JDBC Installation Instructions (in the documentation directory on
the CD-ROM).
Note: Installing a driver or client from this SPSS Data Access Pack does not uninstall
earlier drivers. Instead it makes the newly-installed software available to you. The
newly-installed software must be manually configured; the configuration of your
earlier driver is not transferred. If your earlier driver is working properly and meets
your needs, it is best not to upgrade to a new version. Only upgrade when you require
support for a database that was previously unsupported or when you require an
enhancement.

What You Need to Run Connect ODBC

The minimum system requirements for Connect ODBC are:
! Eight megabytes of random-access memory (RAM) on Windows 95 or Windows

98, and 16MB on Windows NT and 2000. Relational database drivers may require
additional memory.
! The hard disk where the system folder is located (for example, C:\Winnt) must

have at least 45 MB of available space. Additional disk space is required if you

choose to install the documentation or additional drivers.

After You Install

After you install Connect ODBC drivers or the SequeLink client, additional steps are
required before you can use them to connect to your database. How you proceed
depends on whether or not you have an SPSS system administrator.
If you are an SPSS system administrator. Create and configure end user connections
according to the database access technology that you are using at your site.
If you have an SPSS system administrator. Get connection instructions from your SPSS
system administrator.
If you do not have an SPSS system administrator. Create and configure ODBC data
sources for the Connect ODBC driver(s) or SequeLink client that you installed.

Connecting to Your Database with Connect ODBC

Connect ODBC is a set of ODBC drivers; when you install it, you install drivers.
Before you can use an installed driver you must create and configure an ODBC data
source for that driver.
An ODBC data source must consist of two pieces of information: the ODBC driver
to be used to access the data, and the location of the data that you want to access.
To configure an ODBC data source:
E From the Start menu, choose:
Settings
Control Panel
E In the Control Panel, double-click ODBC Data Sources.

or
Windows 2000. Double-click Administrative Tools then Data Sources.
E To configure a new data source, click Add, select the driver that you want to use (the

names of all Connect ODBC drivers begin with the text SPSS OEM) and then click
Finish. The Create New Data Source dialog box appears.

10
SPSS Data Acces s Pack 2.0 Installation Ins truc tions

E Enter the necessary fields and settings. The settings available vary by driver. For a

description of each setting, click Help.

Note: To configure an existing data source to use the driver that you installed, select a
data source name from the list and click Configure.

Connecting to Your Database with SequeLink ODBC Client

If you are an SPSS system administrator, see Getting Started with SPSS Data Access
Technology (in the documentation directory on the CD-ROM) and the Merant
SequeLink documentation. Basically, to connect to a data source with SequeLink, the
database and the SequeLink server must be running and the SequeLink client must be
installed on the computer that is accessing and processing data for the SPSS product.
As an administrator, follow the instructions in the Merant SequeLink online
documentation to create a SequeLink data source and an ODBC data source on the
computer. If you have not installed the Merant SequeLink online documentation, you
can install it at any time by running the SPSS Data Access Pack setup again.
From your SPSS product CD-ROM. If your SPSS product includes a single CD-ROM,
access the Merant SequeLink Administrators Guide by opening
/Merant/Books/Sequelnk/books.pdf.
From the SPSS Data Access Pack CD-ROM. If your SPSS product includes a separate
SPSS Data Access Pack CD-ROM, access the Merant SequeLink Administrators
Guide by opening Documentation/Merant/slnk/admin/admin.pdf.

If you have an SPSS system administrator, ask him or her about configuring SequeLink
client.

Updating Your Installation

You can install additional components at any time by repeating the setup process.
Note: Installing a newer version of a driver or client from SPSS Data Access Pack does
not uninstall earlier drivers. Instead it makes the newly-installed software available to
you. The newly-installed software must be manually configured; the configuration of
your earlier driver is not transferred. If your earlier driver is working properly and meet
your needs, it is best not to upgrade to a new version. Only update when you require

11

support for a database that was previously unsupported, or when you require an
enhancement.

Uninstalling the SPSS Data Access Pack

To uninstall:
E From the Start menu choose:
Settings
Control Panel
E From the Control Panel, choose Add/Remove Programs.
E Click SPSS Data Access Pack and remove it.

Note: Uninstalling removes ODBC drivers that were installed with the component-it
does not remove the ODBC data sources that you have defined. The ODBC data
sources that require drivers that you have removed will no longer work. Use the ODBC
Data Source Administrator on the Windows Control Panel to remove them.
