MACHINE SPECIFIC NOTES
FOR
HCL OneDB Client SDK 1.0.0.0 PRODUCT RELEASE
HCL OneDB ODBC Driver Version 1.0
On Windows x64
DATE: 15 Jul 2020
=================================
OS Information : Built on Windows Server 2016 x64.
Machine Specific Notes
======================
1. This product supports the following compiler:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
This product is built on Windows 2016 using the following compiler from
Microsoft Visual Studio 2017:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2017
2. Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)
PAM functionality is supported. Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by
the system administrator. By default, HCL OneDB will use the traditional
authentication mechanism in order to avoid widespread changes required
by the users.
3. IPv6 Support
OneDB supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).
In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS registry to resolve
to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System
should be correctly configured.
For compatibility with older HCL OneDB client and server products,
assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address.
If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services
resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in the nodename field of the
server registry. Client applications should also use the same setting.
4. Workaround to list ODBC driver in Data Sources(ODBC Window)
Warning: As we will be modifying the registry, performing a registry
back-up is recommended.
1) Copy the lines between BEGIN and END block, save it as a
file(for example, ifmx_odbc_driver.txt) in any location in your
hard drive (for example in C:\MyFolder\).
NOTE: All lines should start at column 1(no spaces before start of line)
BEGIN Block
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
"HCL ONEDB ODBC DRIVER"="installed"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\HCL ONEDB ODBC DRIVER]
"Driver"="INFORMIXDIR\bin\iclit09b.dll"
"Setup"="INFORMIXDIR\bin\iclit09b.dll"
"SQLLevel"="1"
"FileUsage"="0"
"DriverODBCVer"="03.51"
"ConnectFunctions"="YYY"
"APILevel"="1"
"CPTimeout"="<not pooled>"
END Block
2) Edit ifmx_odbc_driver.txt to replace INFORMIXDIR to the installed
location of HCL OneDB Client SDK. For example, if HCL OneDB CLient SDK is installed in c:\HCL\ folder,
then replace INFORMIXDIR with c:\HCL.
3) Rename ifmx_odbc_driver.txt to ifmx_odbc_driver.reg. To update
the registry, either double click on the ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file or
type the following line from a command prompt.
regedit c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg
Click Yes, when you get the following message:
"Are you sure you want to add the information in
c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file to the registry?"
Click OK, when you get the following message:
"Information in c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file has been
successfully entered into the registry."
4) You can now configure ODBC DSNs by running odbcad32.exe
