Step 4: On the Database Type Profile Configuration window, do the following (take SAP SA | UltraLite as an example):

1. Select the ODBC Interface radio button from the Database Interface option.

2. Select a data source from the Data Source dropdown list box. It can be any data source (ODBC DSN) provided it is the same type as used by your application. It does NOT have to be the actual ODBC DSN used by your particular application. The database type is what is important and that a connection can be established to the specified ODBC DSN.

3. Keep the rest as default, and then click Test Connection.

4. Make sure that the database connection is successful.

5. Click OK.
