Error: 'The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the driver and application'

Written by Charnjit Singh Dharival

Installed the 64 bit version of Orchestrate on an 64 bit Windows operating system but can't run the import due to the following error:-

Orchestrate Data Flow import has failed. The detailed information is as follows:

ERROR [IM014] [Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the driver and application

Import Command:
N/A


Microsoft doesn't ship the 64 bit text driver as part of Windows. This is the reason why 64 bit driver isn't visible for Orchestrate 64 bit. In order to use Orchestrate 64 bit version to import CSV data, you must install the 64 bit text driver that is available from Microsoft Access Database Engine 2016 Redistributable (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920).

You will then need to add the System DSN to run the CSV import via the following steps:

  1. Log into Orchestrate System Manager

  2. select file

  3. Select data import configuration

  4. select data source configuration

  5. Click New

  6. select ODBC data connections from Data Source Type dropdown list

  7. Click Next

  8. Click Manage ODBC source

  9. Select System DSN tab and select the relevant name e.g. CSV import, 64 bit, Microsoft Text driver

  10. Click Configure

  11. Click Select Directory

  12. Click OK
