Please note the following specific settings.

• Select the ODBC Data Provider to connect. The provider is part of the Windows Operating System and should be already installed.

  DSN=Trycache64samples

• You can map your data fields to specific external source fields in the Layer2 Cloud Connector. Please take care about data types (simple type conversions are supported).
