If you're configuring DataDirect ODBC drivers on *nix system, be aware of following:

1. There are 2 versions of odbc.ini file, one in 32bit driver folder, other in 64. 64 essbase uses 64 drivers.
2. You should copy required odbc.ini file to essbasepath\bin. And you should create a symbolic link (ln -s) to odbc.ini file in essbase user home folder (/home/hyperion, for example)
3. When creating a SQL data source rule file -- ServerName corresponds to database server name, not essbase server name (type TNS name for oracle database)
