The Aspentech IP.21 ODBC Driver 64-bit must be installed on the j5 Server before a connection can be configured.
To install the Aspentech IP.21 ODBC Driver:
-
Verify that the j5 Server is connected to the same domain as the IP.21 Server.
-
Download the Aspentech installation file and run setup.
-
Select Install AspenONE Products in the installer, and accept the license.
-
Expand the Aspentech Manufacturing Execution Systems section, and select the Aspen Desktop Applications feature.
-
Enter the DNS or IP address of your Aspentech License Server and select Next.
-
Enter the DOMAIN\username and password of a domain user with access to IP.21 and select Next.
This is the same username and password you should configure in j5.
-
Clear the Use a data source directory server checkbox and select Next.
-
Select Install Now.
-
Ensure that the ODBC Driver 64-bit is installed. If the 64-bit version is NOT installed, then a manual installation of the 64-bit ODBC driver is required.
-
Disable IIS on the j5 Server as it conflicts with j5 and will prevent j5 from starting.
