Deltek Costpoint Open Database Connectivity
Deltek Costpoint Cloud ODBC
Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) allows Mosaic to establish a secure, read-only connection to your Deltek Costpoint database to fetch data directly from your Deltek Costpoint database, which eliminates the need to export additional data from Deltek Costpoint and importing them into Mosaic (using the CSV Import tool).
Prerequisites:
- Setting up ODBC (Read Only) access to your SaaS data.
- Read only ODBC access to your Deltek Costpoint database is provided by the Hybrid Data Pipeline ODBC client driver.
- ODBC connectivity is only available for your production database. You cannot use ODBC to connect to any sandbox or non-production databases.
Submit the ODBC Service Request
To submit the ODBC Read Only Access service request:
- Step 1: Your company’s SaaS Customer Administrator should log into the Deltek Support Center and navigate to the Deltek Cloud Solutions page.
- Step 2: In the Service Request section, select the ODBC Read Only Access radio button.
- Step 3: Click the link in the Service Request to download the spreadsheet that should be used to log all
changes to ODBC access. The spreadsheet can also be downloaded from KB Article # 107175.
- Under User Access Form, select Choose File and upload the completed spreadsheet from step 3
above. - Click Submit.
Upon submission, a dialog box displays containing the Case No. for the request and a link to Manage
Cases, where the case can be viewed or updated. - Upon the completion, Deltek will notify the new account holder via email with the credentials and
configuration settings needed to connect to the ODBC service.
- Additionally, the SaaS Administrator will receive a confirmation email when the request is completed.
ODBC Requirements
After completing the steps above, to connect to your ODBC connection we would need the following details which should have been provided to you as part of your service request to have Deltek Costpoint ODBC enabled.
- Hybrid Data Pipeline Source
- Service (if provided)
- Port Number (If provided)
- The username and password for a user with permissions to access your ODBC connection
These details are normally either in the service request ticket, or would have been emailed to you as part of the ODBC set up. If the username and password provided were for a user that you do not wish to share with Mosaic, you may create a new user in Deltek Costpoint and request that it be granted access to your ODBC connection.
