How to view Bullhorn CRM data in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for Bullhorn CRM.

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for Bullhorn CRM, you gain access to live Bullhorn CRM data within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update Bullhorn CRM data. This article will walk through connecting to Bullhorn CRM using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to Bullhorn CRM

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

Begin by providing your Bullhorn CRM account credentials in the following:

If you are uncertain about your data center code, codes like CLS2, CLS21, etc. are cluster IDs that are contained in a user's browser URL (address bar) once they are logged in.

Example: https://cls21.bullhornstaffing.com/BullhornSTAFFING/MainFrame.jsp?#no-ba... indicates that the logged in user is on CLS21.

Authenticating with OAuth

Bullhorn CRM uses the OAuth 2.0 authentication standard. To authenticate using OAuth, create and configure a custom OAuth app. See the Help documentation for more information.
