First thing first you FIRE the DBA, (any DBA worth his salt know that changing the name of a DSN is not good practice). Then set the name back ;-)
 
if this is not an option.
 
then you are going to have to go through every TAF/TCF and change the reference.
you can do this with a text editor or a GREP (global replace and edit)
 
You might want to give the DBA a call

This is going to sound stupid, but how do you change the DSN in Witango?  I can't find any kind of Witango control panel or admin tool.  And, Witango doesn't show up in the Programs list.  How do I get to a screen that lets me reset the DSN?

Dear John

 

Did you change the datasource again in witango. It send location and db name when you set it, so you may have to reset that.

 

Sincerely

Subject: Witango-Talk: DSN Question

 

Hi all,

 

We are moving our SQL2000 db to a new Win2K box.  Our db admin restored the db to the new box and changed the DSN on our web server to the new server name.  Even after restarting the web server, it still points to the old db.  Is there something we have to do in Witango?

 

Thanks

 

John
