This applies if you have the Deltek Flex Cloud offering, which allows users to connect to your DPS transaction database using ODBC.

DPS now uses Hybrid Data Pipeline (HDP) instead of DataDirect ODBC for ODBC connectivity. With this change, you now see a new ODBC Management section in the Weblink utility that will be maintained by Deltek Cloud Operations. Do not delete or change the entries in this section. These entries allow you to give a user access to the DPS database via ODBC connectivity.

For users who had ODBC connectivity before the switch to HDP, you must re-enable cloud ODBC connectivity for them in Settings » Security » Users. In the Cloud ODBC Settings section of the Users form, select the Enable Cloud ODBC Connectivity check box and enter an email and password.

When cloud ODBC connectivity is enabled for a user, the following apply:

• If you delete the user in Settings » Security » Users, the ODBC connectivity is automatically disabled for the user.

• If you select the Disable Login check box on the Users form in Settings » Security » Users (so the user cannot log in to DPS), this does not disable ODBC access for the user. To prevent the user from accessing DPS via ODBC connectivity, you must also clear the Enable Cloud ODBC Connectivity check box on the Users form or delete the user completely in Users Settings.

Installing the Add-in

When you install the Microsoft Outlook add-in for DPS, you must now use the file name that is identified for the Microsoft Outlook add-in manifest URL on the System tab of the DPS About dialog box.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS if you curently have the Microsoft Outlook add-in installed: After the 1.1.10 maintenance release is installed on your system, you must uninstall the Microsoft Outlook add-in on users' machines, and then reinstall it using the file name for the Microsoft Outlook add-in manifest URL that displays on the System tab of the DPS About dialog box. See the following help topic for installation instructions: Installing the Outlook Add-in for DPS. You enter the URL for the add-in's manifest file in step 4 of the instructions.

In the How-To Videos section of the online help, click the Resource Management link in the "General Videos" topic.
