Connect Data To WorldShip Window Overview

This window allows you to connect your data file to UPS WorldShip.

In this window:

Note: If you selected an existing data connection in the Select Data Connection window, the data connection information appears as read-only information. Skip to step 4.

1. Enter a name for the connection in the Data Connection Name box.

2. Click the Browse button and go to the location of your data file. The location appears in the Where is the Location of Your Data File? box.
   
   Tip: Large data files process faster when stored on the local drive. You can copy the file to your working directory if it is not on your local drive.

3. Select the Or Select an Existing Data Connection check box to reselect or edit a previously created data connection.

4. Under Datasource Settings:

• The Import/Export Wizard determines and selects your data file in the Datasource Type box. If the selection is not correct, select any of the six applications and the supported drivers.
  
  To review the advanced parameter settings for your data type, select the appropriate data type below:
  
  Microsoft Access
  Microsoft Excel
  Microsoft FoxPro
  Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
  Microsoft SQL Server
  Text

• To change the default driver for the selected data source type, click the Change Driver button. The Driver Info Settings window appears so that you can change or accept the suggested driver. See Driver Info Settings Window Overview.

• To further configure your data connection, click the Configure Data button. The Supply Advanced Settings window appears so that you can configure optional parameters such as buffer size and select a password. See Supply Advanced Settings Window Overview.
  
  Note: The Import/Export Wizard provides default values. Although you can select optional parameters through the ODBC Administrator, UPS recommends that you use the values specified in each application section. If you need to use optional parameters, see your Systems Administrator for assistance.

5. Click the Next button.
