Installing IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI

To install IBM Data Server Client for ODBC and CLI, perform these steps:

1.Uncompress the compressed file to a directory on the target machine.

2.Create the directory $HOME/db2_cli_odbc_driver, where the driver will be installed.

3.Untar the tar archive with directory structure preserved using the -xvf option.

4.Ensure that db2dump and the db2 directories are writable. Alternatively, the path you have referenced in the diagpath parameter must also be writable.

Example 4-1shows how to uncompress the compressed file in the Linux and UNIX systems. This example assumes that the compressed file is in the directory db2_cli_odbc_driver under the home directory.

Example 4-1 Uncompressing the compressed file in Linux and UNIX systems.

cd $HOME/db2_cli_odbc_driver

uncompress db2_driver_for_odbc_cli.tar.Z tar -xvf db2_driver_for_odbc_cli.tar

rm db2_driver_for_odbc_cli.tar

If your system already has an IBM Data Server Client or IBM Data Server Runtime Client installed and you want to install one or more copies of the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI, follow the same process described in “Installing IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI” on page 146. Ensure that the application is using the correct copy of the driver by dynamically loading the driver from the target installation directory.

For installing multiple copies of IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI, ensure that a different path is specified when you untar the extracted file.

For installing multiple copies of IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC, CLI, and

.NET, you can issue:

setup /n "COPY_NAME"
