- Hardware and software requirements for IBM InfoSphere Federation Server
Ensure that the system you choose has the necessary requirements to meet your expected performance demands and the minimum requirements for IBM InfoSphere Federation Server and the data source client software. - Prerequisites for installing relational wrappers
Before you install relational wrappers, ensure that the prerequisites for each of the wrappers that you want to install are met. Ensure that you install any PTFs or APARs for your system and client software, which might be required for the federated server. - Installing ODBC drivers
The ODBC drivers allow you to access Microsoft SQL data from the federated server. You can install the IBM-branded DataDirect ODBC driver, the DataDirect Technologies' DataDirect Connect for ODBC driver, or the unixODBC driver. - Editing Oracle 9i genclntsh scripts and creating libclntsh files before installation (Linux, HP-UX, Solaris)
If your system uses the Oracle 9i client, the Oracle NET8 wrapper, and a federated server that runs on the HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris operating systems, your federated instance will fail when you attempt remote operations that include Oracle and the NET8 wrapper unless you complete this task. - Editing Oracle 10g genclntsh scripts and creating libclntsh files before installation (Linux, HP-UX)
If your system uses the Oracle 10g client, the Oracle NET8 wrapper, and a federated server that runs on HP-UX or Linux operating systems, your federated instance will fail when you attempt remote operations that include Oracle and the NET8 wrapper unless you complete this task.
