ODBC connectivity for Sybase ETL Server running as a Windows service

[CR #456470] If you install ETL Server on a Windows 2003 64-bit Enterprise Edition platform as a Windows service and you plan to use ODBC connectivity, you may encounter the following issues:

Workaround: If ETL Development is installed on the same machine with the ETL Server and you want to run the ETL demo jobs:

  1. Stop ETL Server running as a Windows service. Use the Windows Task Manager Processes tab to verify no GridNode.exe processes are running.

  2. Start ETL Development. ETL Development starts a GridNode.exe process and this process can run the ETL demo jobs.

ETL Server is a 32-bit application, even though the Sybase IQ server available with it in the IQ Extended Enterprise edition is a 64-bit application. ETL Server requires a 32-bit ODBC driver to connect to a server, regardless of whether the server is 32-bit or 64-bit.

The 64-bit Sybase IQ Server includes both ODBC 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.When you install Sybase IQ on a Windows 2003 EE 64-bit platform and accept the defaults, the two drivers are available from the Start menu. These two ODBC drivers have the same file name—DBODBC9.DLL, but are installed in different directories.
