Configuring ODBC access (AIX® Solaris Linux®)

If you installed ODBC drivers, you must configure the drivers to access ODBC data sources.

The DataDirect Technologies Connect ODBC drivers are installed in install_home/Server/branded_odbc. Documentation for configuring the ODBC drivers is provided within this directory tree.

Edit the dsenv, odbc.ini, and uvodbc.config files to set up access to ODBC data sources.

Non-wire protocol drivers require different setup information from wire drivers. Non-wire drivers require information about the location of the database client software. Wire protocol drivers require information about the database itself.

For information about configuring the ODBC environment for a specific database, see the DataDirect Connect and Connect XE for ODBC Reference manual (a PDF file) in the $DSHOME/Server/branded_odbc/books/odbc directory. Also review the odbcread.me file in the branded_odbc directory and an HTML file in the branded_odbc/odbchelp directory.
