Connecting to enterprise data
Incorporating back-end data into everyday business processes maximizes the value of a Domino® Designer application. Designer includes a range of technologies for the security and control of business processes, forms routing, and approvals management. With enterprise integration technologies, you can incorporate traditionally difficult-to-reach data into your business applications.
Establishing a data source resource for use with a DCR

Establishing a data source resource for use with a DCR

Before you can create and use a Data Connection Resource, you must first create a data source server reference to the external application using a data source that is defined on the server. For example, to create a data source for a Microsoft™ Access database on a Windows NT™ server, you would use the Windows™ System Tools utility to specify the Microsoft™ Access table as a data source and ODBC as the data driver to use for data exchange.

If you do not have access to the server on which the external database resides, work with your system administrator or database manager to make sure the data source is defined.
