DSXchange

Hello All,

Please help. I cannot get a new MySQL database to be usable with Datastage 8.7. I have tried using the 32 bit and 64 bit odbc driver that comes with MySQL.

I can get past the first part of the import, the connection and table list get populated. The issue is when I try to import ODBC metadata from a particular table from the new MySQL database, it causes this error: Error calling subroutine: DSR_IMPORT (Action=3); check DataStage is set up correctly in project STREAM_DASHBOARD_Dev.

MySQL: Installed on a 64 bit Redhat OS. MySQL is the free version which is not supported by IBM's Wire Protocol driver.

Datastage 8.7 is installed on 64 bit Redhat.

I have edited the uvodbc.config file:
[ODBC DATA SOURCES]
<localuv>
DBMSTYPE = UNIVERSE
network = TCP/IP
service = uvserver
host = localhost
<MySQL_QM_Stage>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC
<MySQL_QM_DataMart>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC
<IADB>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC
<DB2_XMeta>
DBMSTYPE = ODBC


I have edited the .odbc.ini file:
[MySQL_QM_Stage]
Driver=/usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
#Driver=/usr/lib64/libmyodbc3_r-3.51.26.so

Is there an entry for MySQL_QM_Stage in the list of ODBC data source names at the top of .odbc.ini ?

Thanks Ray.

Yes, there is an entry in the .odbc.ini, see below.

[ODBC Data Sources]
MySQL_QM_Stage=MyODBC 3.51 Driver DSN
MySQL_QM_DataMart=MyODBC 3.51 Driver DSN

What datatypes does this table contain? Can you try to import a sample tabel with just integer and varchar columns to check whether it might have something to do with datatypes. I had a similar problem this past week where the import crashed and I found that there was a column of type "pdf" hidden in there which caused my abort/crash.

We have the same issue on our new 8.7 installation.
Can you please share how you resolved it (If resolved).
