I have a JAVA application working in Tomcat server. This JAVA application is using an ODBC entry installed at the user level to access the database.
This entry is disappearing after every update of the system. Is this a normal behavior? Is there anything that can be done to avoid this situation every time that I get a windows update?
This is happening in Windows 10.
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,
Manuel.

No, this is not normal. You could use ProcMon to find out what process is deleting the subkeys located here.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC Data Sources

Hi Patrick,
Thanks so much for you quickly answer. I didn't have time yet to test.
You said that is not normal but could it be that the dsn is getting deleted by windows update because in the way that I created the dsn entry? maybe there is a flag or option in ODBC Administrator that avoids to be deleted after windows update, could it be possible?
Thanks a lot for your help and time.
Manuel.

No, that should not happen. More likely is some sort of user profile issues.
