# System Requirements

ODBC Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

The connector can be installed on any computer provided it can communicate with the ODBC DSN connection in order to contact the repository.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including ODBC Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

## Prerequisites

To retrieve information through ODBC you must install an ODBC driver for the database that you want to retrieve data from.

- If you use the 64-bit ODBC Connector, you must use a 64-bit ODBC driver. On Windows, define the data source in the 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administration utility.
- If you use the 32-bit ODBC Connector on a 64-bit operating system, you must use a 32-bit ODBC driver. On Windows, define the data source in the 32-bit ODBC Data Source Administration utility.
