Note that the DSN is created during the installation process. Complete the following steps to edit the DSN configuration: 1. Select Start > Search, and enter ODBC Data Sources in the Search box. 2. Choose the version of the ODBC Administrator that corresponds to the bitness of your application (32-bit or 64-bit). 3. Click the System DSN tab. 4. Select the system data source and click Configure. 5. Edit the information on the Connection tab and click OK. Note: For .NET Framework 4.0, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable. For .NET Framework 3.5, the driver distributes Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. The ODBC Driver for UPS uses five pieces of information in order to authenticate its actions with the UPS service. * Server: This controls the URL where the requests should be sent. Common testing options for this are: "", and "" * AccessKey: This is an identifier that is required to connect to a UPS Server. This value will be provided to you by UPS after registration. * UserId: This value is used for logging into UPS. This value is the one you chose to login with when registering for service with UPS. * Password: This value is used for logging into UPS. This value is the one you chose to login with when registering for service with UPS. * AccountNumber: This is a valid 6-digit or 10-digit UPS account number. * *PrintLabelLocation: This property is required to use the GenerateLabels or GenerateReturnLabels functions. This should be set to the folder location where generated labels should be stored.* --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.appstrategy.com/apprules-r-documentation/platform/platform-features/system-settings/data-sources/connection-settings/shippingandmailing/ups.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
