ODBC driver changes

e-Biz Impact version 5.5 on UNIX platforms is shipped with the UNIX ODBC driver manager, rather than the previous DataDirect ODBC driver and driver manager.

WARNING! The UNIX ODBC driver manager serves as a place holder only. Sybase does not support the UNIX ODBC driver manager, and recommends that you use the DataDirect driver and driver manager.

If you are an existing customer, continue to use the DataDirect drivers used with e-Biz Impact 5.4 or earlier.

  1. Copy the odbc.ini file from your e-Biz Impact version 5.4 or earlier to the ImpactServer-5_5\udbc directory.

  2. Add the ODBC library directory to your library path environment variable.

If you are a new customer, Sybase recommends you purchase the ODBC driver and driver manager from DataDirect.

  1. To purchase the DataDirect ODBC drivers directly, go to the DataDirect Web site.

  2. Follow the instructions include with the drivers to set up and configure the DataDirect ODBC driver and driver manager.

  3. Copy the odbc.ini file into the ImpactServer-5_5\udbc directory.

  4. Add the ODBC library directory to your library path environment variable.
