Informix Integration

[tcolombo]

Have a question specifically about dbclient_informix.

Integrating a 7.2 Genesys env. w/ an informix 9.4 Database Server.

The Informix Client (ODBC) has been loaded on the same server as the framework. The Informix Client has three configuration files.
.odbc.ini
.odbcinst.ini
sqlhosts

Does anyone know if dbclient_informix binaryuses these files, or is it looking specifically at it's users environment variables set on the clients unix box?

Thanks in advance,

Tony

It only needs the variables declared on the Informix client on your server. You can read the DBServer Deployment Guide of more info.

Ya, been all over all kinds of documentation the last week or so.  What i can't get out of the the dbserver users guide is......

In general. In communicating with the Informix Server.  Does dbclient_informix have it's own odbc driver or is it dependent on an odbc driver supplied by IBM?

Also where does dbclient_iformix get is locale and DSN information?

Thanks,

Tony

you generally do not need to define a DSN on the local server for DBServer, the connection is configured using the DAP in Config Server. As indicated, refer the deployment guide, it clearly stats how to configure this.

-Answer: Like SQL, you need the common informix drivers installed on the server and Genesys uses its binary to iniate the connection.
