Create a System DSN

The following steps describe how to create a system Data Source Name (DSN) for the BI Connector's mongosqld process. A DSN is a saved configuration which describes a database connection to be used by an ODBC driver. Once the DSN is created for the BI Connector, you can configure a wide range of SQL clients and BI tools to use the DSN and import data from MongoDB.

To create a DSN, complete the prerequisites and procedure for your operating system.
