Go Up to Automatically Discovering Datasources

On first startup, a dialog box displays, giving you the option to Auto-Discover all configured datasources. If you click Yes, the Auto-Discover feature searches the DBMS configuration files on your computer and automatically discovers all the datasources that you are licensed for.

Note: Microsoft SQL Server datasources are registered through a Windows system call to your network. Provide login information (user name and password) the first time you connect to a datasource. For more information, see Disconnecting from a Datasource.
Note: IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows databases use ODBC/CLI or DB2 (attach) to connect. Therefore, you need the proper ODBC/CLI Connection established in order for the auto-discover feature to find your IBM DB2 for Linux, Unix, and Windows databases, including registering the DB2 datasource to ODBC as a system datasource. Although your datasources are auto-discovered, provide login information (user name and password) the first time you connect to a datasource.
