The IBM® Data
Server Driver for ODBC and CLI is not part of the IBM Data Server Client or the IBM Data Server Runtime Client. It must be installed
and configured separately.
To use the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI with
database applications that participate in transactions managed by
the Microsoft Distributed
Transaction Coordinator (DTC), you must register the driver with the
DTC. Here is a link to the Microsoft article
outlining the details of this security requirement:

XA Transaction Support
About this task
Restrictions
You only need to register the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC
and CLI with the DTC if your applications that use the driver are
participating in transactions managed by the DTC.
Procedure
To register the IBM Data
Server Driver for ODBC and CLI with the DTC, run the db2cli
install -setup command for each copy of the driver that is
installed. The db2cli install -setup command
makes changes to the Windows registry
when you run it after installing the driver. If you uninstall the
driver, you should run the db2cli install -cleanup command
to undo those changes.
Example
For example, the following command
registers the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI in the Windows
registry, and creates the configuration folders under the application
data path:
> db2cli install -setup
The IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI registered successfully.
The configuration folders are created successfully.
