Description

You have a TIBCO Scribe® Insight DTS with a Source ODBC connection to a Microsoft Access database.  The DTS runs successfully in the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Workbench, but it fails to connect when it is run as a File Integration Process in the Console with this error message: 

Failed to connect to database.  Error in Execution Log:  Message Processor error:  Error opening data source [data source name].

 

    Resolution

    When you run your DTS from the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Workbench, you are using the permissions of your currently logged in Windows account.  This changes when you configure the Integration Process to run in the TIBCO Scribe® Insight Console.  The TIBCO Scribe® Insight Console uses the Scribe services logon user to determine the permissions to run your Integration Process.

    To resolve this issue:
    1. Confirm that the Scribe services logon account is a domain account, a member of the local administrators and Scribe Console Users groups, and has permissions for the Access database.
    2. Confirm that your 32-bit ODBC connection is using a System DSN.
    3. Configure the ODBC connection with a UNC path rather than a mapped drive.


    Configuring the ODBC Connection
     

    1. Launch the ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit) tool under Control Panel > Administrative Tools > ODBC Data Sources (32-bit).
    2. Select the System DSN tab.
    3. Select your System Data Source, and click Configure.
    4. In the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup window, Database section, click Select…

    UNC path for my Access DB:    \\your_server\your_folder\Test_Connect.mdb
    1. Click OK to save.
