Filemaker's Support Problem

Most product documents (brochures, manuals) requiring frequent updates require, in turn, a database of some sort to power the underlying changes. Makes sense, and content management systems (CMS) have been out for a number of years.

Which makes one wonder if Filemaker, the company, has a bigger problem.

ODBC Error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found and no default driver specified. Driver could not be loaded


trying to reconcile an issue with setting up System DSNs in Filemaker Server 12 trial. The documentation (http://www.filemaker.com/support/product/docs/12/fms/fms12_help.pdf ) states:

Mac OS Start the ODBC data source administrator. The ODBC Administrator utility is available
with Mac OS X (in the Applications/Utilities folder).

Wasn't this discontinued in OS X 10.6 several years ago? If so, why are these details outdated for a product that shipped under 10.7?
