Using Vensim's odbc connectivity

Post by Mehmet »

Since Vensim DSS 5.2 odbc connections are possible. While trying the odbctest model I get the message
"ERROR: The variable- data1 -and perhaps others require a data file be specified.
ERROR: Unable to correctly load in exogenous values - aborting. "
Did anybody have a similar problem?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mehmet,

If you have not got 5.3a you should download that as many ODBC issues were fixed in the newer releases. Be sure that the odbctest.vdi file is included as a changes file when trying to simulate.

Hello Bob,
thank you very much for the advice.
I was wondering where I could configurate the name of the odbc connection. Now I know it is in the .vdi and .vdo file and it works.
Thank you thousand times.
Best regards,
Mehmet
