-To start a database assessment process, first, tune-up an ODBC connection to the source database. It can be "User/System DSN" or "File DSN". After the ODBC connection is tuned-up and connection is checked, you can use it in SQLWays Migration Assessment Wizard to connect to your source database.

 === Logical File Path ===
-This text-box lets you specify the path to the folder containing the description of the logical files (DDS files). It is required if you need to collect information about Logical files from DB2 iSeries (AS400). Also, please, note that for each logical file there should exist a DDS file with the description with the same name as the Logical file. If the text-box is empty, SQLWays will not be able to convert DB2 logical files and will throw a message "view body is not available (empty)" in the sqlways.log file.
