I have installed DS version 7.5 standard edition in Solaris.
I need to know how to have ODBC Driver in Solaris. Do we have any third party tools to have ODBC drivers for DB version 8, SQL server and LSP and Oracle 8i.

When i created a job using DB2 bulk stage and ran it i got a error like this
"ds_loadlibrary: error in dlopen of dsdb2.so - ld.so.1: phantom: fatal: libdb2.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory"

Can any body tell me why this error like this?

Please help me its urgent.

Regards
Shiv

Oracle is fully supported using the Oracle client connectivity software supplied by Oracle. Your Oracle admins should be able to help you on this. SQL-Server is supported using the ODBC drivers installed with DataStage. DB2 is handled the same way.

There is a lot of installation/configuration documentation on the install cd, plus search this forum. The best help is Ascential technical support.

SQL Server is also a choice on the Dynamic Relational Stage (DRS) on DataStage v7.1.0. I haven't tested it, though...

Welcome aboard! :D

There IS some setting up to do.

Add database-specific environment variable settings to the dsenv script in the DataStage Engine directory.

If you want ODBC access, you will also need to edit the .odbc.ini file, and the uvodbc.config file in the project from which access is required.

Search the forum (or your installation and upgrade guide) for details on how to do these things. There are also readme files in the branded_odbc directory (a sibling of the DSEngine directory) which explain how you can test the ODBC drivers supplied with DataStage.
