<ol> <li>Determine that you have a working JDBC connection to your target database.</li> <li>Also determine the bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) of the driver used as this <strong>MUST</strong> match the Java Virtual Machine and ODBC-JDBC Bridge Driver bitness.</li> <li>Launch the ODBC Data Sources Application and click the System DSN tab.</li> <li>Click the Add button.</li> <li>Select the OpenLink "Lite" Driver for JDBC Data Sources from the list of available drivers.</li> <li>Select the Unicode version of the driver if and only if you are working with multi-byte character sets, as unnecessary translations can significantly affect ODBC performance.</li> <li>Click Finish.</li> <li>The first dialog prompts for a Data Source Name and optional description. Click Next.</li> <li>The second dialog prompts for a third-party JDBC driver name, JDBC connection URL, and authentication parameters associated with that JDBC URL. <ul> <li><strong>JDBC driver:</strong> This is the class name of the target JDBC driver.</li> <li><strong>URL string:</strong> This is the JDBC connection URL for the target JDBC driver.</li> <li><strong>Connect now to verify that all settings are correct:</strong> Will attempt to connect to the database, once you click Continue.</li> <li><strong>Login ID:</strong> This is a valid username for your JDBC database.</li> <li><strong>Password:</strong> This is a valid password for your JDBC database.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Click Next to continue.</li> <li>The third dialog takes a combination of database-specific and optional parameters. <ul> <li><strong>Drop Catalog name from DatabaseMetaData calls:</strong> Enable this option to have the catalog name not appear for tables, views, and procedures when requesting database meta-data.</li> <li><strong>Drop Schema name from DatabaseMetaData calls:</strong> Enable this option to have the schema name not appear for tables, views, and procedures when requesting database meta-data.</li> <li><strong>Return an empty ResultSet for SQLStatistics:</strong> Check this box to have SQLStatistics() return an empty resultset. Use this if the underlying database does not support retrieval of statistics about a table (e.g., what indexes it has).</li> <li><strong>Disable support of quoted identifier:</strong> If set, the call SQLGetInfo(SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR) will return a space (""). It can be used if the DBMS doesn't support quoted SQL like SELECT * FROM "account".</li> <li><strong>Disable support of search pattern escape:</strong> If set, the call SQLGetInfo(SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE) will return a space (""). It can be used if the DBMS doesn't support SQL escape patterns.</li> <li><strong>Enable logging of JDBC calls to the log file:</strong> Check this option to enable logging of JDBC calls to a log file.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Click Next to continue.</li> <li>The fourth dialog enables you to set optional ODBC connection parameters. <ul> <li><strong>Read-only connection:</strong> Specifies whether the connection is "Read-only." Must be unchecked to INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE records and to run some Stored Procedures, including some built-in functions.</li> <li><strong>Defer fetching of long data:</strong> Defers fetching of LONG (BINARY, BLOB, etc.) fields in wildcard queries. This provides significant performance increases when fields in the query do not include LONG data fields.</li> <li><strong>Disable interactive login:</strong> Suppresses the ODBC "Username" and "Password" login dialog boxes when interacting with your ODBC DSN from within an ODBC-compliant application.</li> <li><strong>Row Buffer Size:</strong> This attribute specifies the number of records to be delivered from the driver to the client application in a single batch. Values can range from 1 to 999.</li> <li><strong>Max Rows Override:</strong> Allows you to set a limit for the maximum number of rows to be returned from a query. The default value of 0 means no limit.</li> <li><strong>Initial SQL:</strong> Lets you specify a file containing SQL statements that will be run automatically against the database upon connection.</li> <li><strong>Dynamic Cursor Sensitivity:</strong> Enables or disables the row version cache used with dynamic cursors.</li> <li><strong>Enable logging to the log file:</strong> Check the checkbox and use the associated textbox to provide the full path to a file in which to log diagnostic information.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Click Next to continue.</li> <li>The fifth dialog enables you to set additional parameters to enhance compatibility with applications. <ul> <li><strong>Enable Microsoft Jet engine options:</strong> Facilitates translation of certain data types for the Microsoft Jet Engine.

The default mode is AutoCommit (box unchecked).</li> <li><strong>Disable rowset size limit:</strong> Disables a limitation enforced by the cursor library. This limitation is enforced by default. It prevents the driver from claiming all available memory when a resultset (typically generated by an accidental query) is very large. The limit is not normally reached.</li> <li><strong>Multiple Active Statements Emulation:</strong> Enables the use of Multiple Active statements in an ODBC application even if the underlying database does not allow this by emulation within the driver.</li> <li><strong>SQL_DBMS Name:</strong> Manually overrides the SQLGetInfo(SQL_DBMS_NAME) response returned by the driver. This is required for products like Microsoft InfoPath for which the value should be "SQL Server".</li> </ul> </li> <li>Click Next to continue.</li> <li>The final dialog enables you to test your Data Source. Click the Test Data Source button.</li> </ol>

Installation of the Lite Edition (Single-Tier) ODBC Driver for JDBC Data Sources (a/k/a ODBC-to-JDBC Bridge), for macOS
<ol> <li>Download the Lite Edition (Single-Tier) ODBC Driver for JDBC Data Sources disk image (.dmg) file.</li> <li>Double-click the disk image file to open it.</li> <li>Run the installer <code>.mpkg</code> file to start the installation process.</li> <li>After the driver is installed, you will be prompted to locate a license file.</li> <li><strong>NOTE:</strong> If a correctly named file already exists in <code>$OPL_LICENSE_DIR</code>, <code>/Library/Application Support/OpenLink/Licenses/</code>, you will not see this dialog. If the existing file is not valid (evaluation has expired, it's for a different OS, it permits insufficient processor cores, etc.), you will need to manually apply a valid license file after installation is completed.</li> <li><strong>NOTE:</strong> In some environments, this dialog may be hidden by the <code>Installer.app</code> or other windows on your Mac. Please minimize, hide, and/or move windows until you can see and act on this dialog. If you do not answer this dialog, the installation will not complete properly, and the driver will not function as desired.</li> <li>If a license file already exists on the machine, select the 'use existing' option. (Previously generated license files may be re-downloaded from your ODS-Briefcase data space.)</li> <li>If you need to obtain a new trial or permanent license file, select the 'try or buy' option, which will load a relevant web page from which you can obtain a license file.</li> <li>Click Next and continue through the dialog until Installation is complete.</li> <li>Click the Finish button.</li> </ol> To configure an ODBC DSN, follow these steps: <ol> <li>Run the OpenLink iODBC Administrator located in the <code>/Applications/iODBC</code> folder.</li> <li>Click the System DSN tab.</li> <li>Click the Add button.</li> <li>Select the OpenLink JDBC Lite Driver from the list of available drivers.</li> <li>Select the Unicode version of the driver if and only if you are working with multi-byte character sets, as unnecessary translations can significantly affect ODBC performance.</li> <li>Click Finish.</li> </ol> The Data Source tab prompts for a <strong>Data Source Name</strong> and an optional <strong>description</strong>. The Connection Tab requires the following minimum requirements to connect to your JDBC data source: <ul> <li><strong>JDBC Driver</strong> - The class name for your third-party JDBC driver, e.g., <code>virtuoso.jdbc3.Driver</code></li> <li><strong>URL String</strong> - The JDBC connection URL for your third-party JDBC driver</li> <li><strong>Username</strong> - The username for your JDBC database</li> </ul> The Options tab displays additional parameters that can be configured for the connection, such as: <ul> <li><strong>Row Buffer Size</strong> - The number of records to be transported over the network in a single network hop. Values can range from 1 to 99.</li> <li><strong>Hide Login Dialog</strong> - Suppresses the ODBC "Username" and "Password" login dialog boxes when interacting with your ODBC DSN from within an ODBC compliant application.</li> <li><strong>Read Only connection</strong> - Specifies whether the connection is "Read-only." Make sure the checkbox is unchecked to request a "Read/Write" connection.</li> <li><strong>Drop Catalog from Meta calls</strong> - Enable this option to have the catalog name not appear for tables, views, and procedures when requesting database meta-data.</li> <li><strong>Drop Schema from Meta calls</strong> - Enable this option to have the schema name not appear for tables, views, and procedures when requesting database meta-data.</li> <li><strong>No support of quoted identifier</strong> - If set, the call SQLGetInfo for 'SQL_IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR' will return a space (" "). It can be used if the DBMS doesn't support quoted SQL like SELECT * from "account".</li> <li><strong>SQLStatistics disabled</strong> - Check this box to have SQLStatistics() return an empty result set. Use this if the underlying database does not support retrieval of statistics about a table (e.g., what indexes it has).</li> <li><strong>No support of search string escape</strong> - If set, the call SQLGetInfo(SQL_LIKE_ESCAPE_CLAUSE) will return a space (" "). It can be used if the DBMS doesn't support SQL escape patterns.</li> <li><strong>Patch of NULL size of SQL_CHAR</strong> - If set, this option overrides the size of SQL_CHAR column type returned by the database with the value set in the text box (in bytes). With a default value of 0, the driver uses the size returned by the database.</li> <li><strong>SQL_DBMS Name</strong> - Manually overrides the SQLGetInfo(SQL_DBMS_NAME) response returned by the driver. This is required for products like Microsoft InfoPath (for which the value should be "SQL Server").</li> <li><strong>Initialization SQL</strong> - Lets you specify a file containing SQL statements that will be run automatically against the database upon connection.</li> <li><strong>Cursor Sensitivity</strong> - Enables or disables the row version cache used with dynamic cursors. When dynamic cursor sensitivity is set high, the Cursor Library calculates checksums for each row in the current rowset and compares these with the checksums (if any) already stored in the row version cache for the same rows when fetched previously. If the checksums differ for a row, the row has been updated since it was last fetched and the row status flag is set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED. The row version cache is then updated with the latest checksums for the rowset. From the user's point of view, the only visible difference between the two sensitivity settings is that a row status flag can never be set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED when the cursor sensitivity is low. (The row status is instead displayed as SQL_ROW_SUCCESS.) In all other respects, performance aside, the two settings are the same. Deleted rows don't appear in the rowset. Updates to the row since the row was last fetched are reflected in the row data, and inserted rows appear in the rowset if their keys fall within the span of the rowset. If your application does not need to detect the row status SQL_ROW_UPDATED, you should leave the 'High Cursor Sensitivity' checkbox unchecked, as performance is improved. The calculation and comparison of checksums for each row fetched carries an overhead. Before enabling this option, the table oplrvc must be created using the appropriate script for the target database.</li> <li><strong>Max Rows Override</strong> - Allows you to define a limit on the maximum number of rows to be returned from a query. The default value of 0 means no limit.</li> <li><strong>Disable AutoCommit</strong> - Changes the default commit behavior of the OpenLink driver. The default mode is AutoCommit (unchecked).</li> <li><strong>Disable Rowset Size Limit</strong> - Disables a limitation enforced by the cursor library. This limitation is enforced by default. It prevents the driver from claiming all available memory in the event that a result set generated from an erroneous query is very large. The limit is not normally reached.</li> <li><strong>Defer fetching of long data</strong> - Defers fetching of LONG (BINARY, BLOB, etc.) data unless explicitly requested in a query. This can provide significant performance increases when fields in a query do not include LONG data fields.</li> <li><strong>Multiple Active Statements Emulation</strong> - Enables the use of Multiple Active Statements in an ODBC application even if the underlying database does not allow this, as it is emulated in the driver.</li> <li>Click the Finish button to save your new Data Source Name.</li> </ul>

Make sure the checkbox is unchecked to request a "Read/Write" connection.</li> <li><strong>No transactions:</strong> Disable ODBC transaction management. All transactions will be automatically committed. This prevents palloc() failures with out-of-memory errors when doing really big transactions such as exporting 10000 records from MS/Access.</li> <li><strong>Reconnect on Cancel:</strong></li> <li><strong>Prepare Method:</strong> This option can take the values None, Partial, Full (connectoptions -O [0, 1, 2] respectively). It is used to determine whether stored procedures are created on the server for calls to SQLPrepare.</li> <li><strong>Character set:</strong></li> <li><strong>SQL_DBMS Name:</strong> Manually overrides the SQLGetInfo(SQL_DBMS_NAME) response returned by the driver.

If the checksums differ for a row, the row has been updated since it was last fetched and the row status flag is set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED. The row version cache is then updated with the latest checksums for the rowset. From the user's point of view, the only visible difference between the two sensitivity settings is that a row status flag can never be set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED when the cursor sensitivity is low. (The row status is instead displayed as SQL_ROW_SUCCESS.) In all other respects, performance aside, the two settings are the same. Deleted rows don't appear in the rowset. Updates to the row since the row was last fetched are reflected in the row data, and inserted rows appear in the rowset if their keys fall within the span of the rowset. If your application does not need to detect the row status SQL_ROW_UPDATED, you should leave the 'High Cursor Sensitivity' checkbox unchecked, as performance is improved.

May include an instance name, as discussed below (e.g., "MySQLHost.example.com\MySQLInstance").</li> <li><strong>Port number</strong> - The TCP port on which Microsoft SQL Server listens. Leave blank when SQL Server TCP/IP port setting is "Dynamic."</li> <li><strong>Server Name</strong> - (Optional) Microsoft SQL Server instance name on the specified host. Usually not specified unless SQL Server TCP/IP port setting is "Dynamic." Though not optimal, a Microsoft SQL Server instance name can be specified by instead appending "\\InstanceName" to the Hostname field above (e.g., "MySQLHost.example.com\\MySQLInstance").</li> <li><strong>Mirror Host</strong> - The name of the Failover Server hosting the mirrored database if configured</li> <li><strong>Use strong encryption of data</strong> - The driver will demand an SSL encrypted connection to the Microsoft SQL Server instance. If the target instance is not configured for or capable of SSL connections, the connection will fail. This setting is not needed for connections to Microsoft SQL Server instances which are configured to demand SSL connections from clients; such demands are handled automatically by the driver. Note that SSL connections are never supported by Microsoft SQL Server 7 or earlier, nor when using TDS Version 7.0 or 4.2.</li> <li><strong>Use MARS</strong> - Multiple Active Result Sets enables the concurrent processing of multiple statements/queries and/or result sets on a single connection.</li> <li><strong>Verify Server Certificate</strong> - Verify the SSL Certificate presented by the database server against the one specified in the "CA file" field</li> <li><strong>CA file</strong> - Specify the location of a Valid SSL Certificate for use during the connection</li> </ul> <li>After selecting your preferences, click <strong>OK</strong> to continue.</li> <li>The <strong>Connection</strong> Tab takes a combination of required and optional parameters required to make a connection to the target database:</li> <ul> <li><strong>User name</strong> - A valid Microsoft SQL Server username.

For most users, the default is best. The driver will automatically translate between this codepage and whatever the SQL Server is using.</li> <li><strong>Disable character set translation</strong> - All character IDs will be passed directly from ODBC client application to SQL Server, with no translation. This is rarely desirable and is provided to address historic issues.</li> <li>Click <strong>Continue</strong>.</li> <li>The <strong>Options</strong> tab enables you to set some standard and Microsoft SQL Server specific parameters:</li> <ul> <li><strong>Row Buffer Size</strong> - This attribute specifies the number of records to be transported over the network in a single network hop.

Make sure the checkbox is unchecked to request a "Read/Write" connection.</li> <li><strong>TDS packet size</strong> - A value that determines the number of bytes per network packet transferred from the database server to the client. The correct setting of this attribute can improve performance. When set to 0, the initial default, the driver uses the default packet size as specified in the Sybase server configuration. When set to -1, the driver computes the maximum allowable packet size on the first connect to the data source and saves the value in the system information.

If the checksums differ for a row, the row has been updated since it was last fetched and the row status flag is set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED. The row version cache is then updated with the latest checksums for the rowset. From the user's point of view, the only visible difference between the two sensitivity settings is that a row status flag can never be set to SQL_ROW_UPDATED when the cursor sensitivity is low. (The row status is instead displayed as SQL_ROW_SUCCESS.) In all other respects, performance aside, the two settings are the same. Deleted rows don't appear in the rowset. Updates to the row since the row was last fetched are reflected in the row data, and inserted rows appear in the rowset if their keys fall within the span of the rowset. If your application does not need to detect the row status SQL_ROW_UPDATED, you should leave the 'High Cursor Sensitivity' checkbox unchecked, as performance is improved.

Configuration of the Lite Edition (Single-Tier) ODBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server Data Sources, for macOS
<ol> <li>To configure an ODBC DSN, run the OpenLink iODBC Administrator located in the /Applications/iODBC folder:</li> <li>Click the <strong>System DSN</strong> tab:</li> <li>Click the <strong>Add</strong> button. Then, select the OpenLink SQL Server Lite Driver from the list of available drivers. Select the Unicode version of the driver if and only if you are working with multi-byte character sets, as unnecessary translations can significantly affect ODBC performance:</li> <li>Click <strong>Finish</strong>.</li> <li>The <strong>Data Source</strong> tab prompts for a DSN name, description, and information that identifies the target Microsoft SQL Server DBMS:</li> <ul> <li><strong>DSN</strong> - (Required) A brief and meaningful title for your Data Source Name</li> <li><strong>Description</strong> - (Optional) A longer description for your Data Source Name</li> <li><strong>Server Name</strong> - (Required) Use the drop-down menu to invoke the driver's dynamic discovery of Microsoft SQL Server instances on the network and choose the desired instance.</li> <li>Use the "Advanced" button to manually configure a connection if the Microsoft SQL Server instance could not be dynamically located, as detailed below:</li> <li><strong>Server Type</strong> - An OpenLink proprietary parameter that associates the connection with a particular TDS version.</li> <li><strong>Hostname</strong> - The hostname or IP address on which Microsoft SQL Server listens. May include an instance name, as discussed below (e.g., "MySQLHost.example.com\MySQLInstance").</li> <li><strong>Port number</strong> - The TCP port on which Microsoft SQL Server listens. Leave blank when SQL Server TCP/IP port setting is "Dynamic."</li> <li><strong>Server Name</strong> - (Optional) Microsoft SQL Server instance name on the specified host. Usually not specified unless SQL Server TCP/IP port setting is "Dynamic." Though not optimal, a Microsoft SQL Server instance name can be specified by instead appending "\\InstanceName" to the Hostname field above (e.g., "MySQLHost.example.com\\MySQLInstance").</li> <li><strong>Mirror Host</strong> - The name of the Failover Server hosting the mirrored database if configured</li> <li><strong>Use strong encryption of data</strong> - The driver will demand an SSL encrypted connection to the Microsoft SQL Server instance. If the target instance is not configured for or capable of SSL connections, the connection will fail. This setting is not needed for connections to Microsoft SQL Server instances which are configured to demand SSL connections from clients; such demands are handled automatically by the driver. Note that SSL connections are never supported by Microsoft SQL Server 7 or earlier, nor when using TDS Version 7.0 or 4.2.</li> <li><strong>Use MARS</strong> - Multiple Active Result Sets enables the concurrent processing of multiple statements/queries and/or result sets on a single connection.</li> <li><strong>Verify Server Certificate</strong> - Verify the SSL Certificate presented by the database server against the one specified in the "CA file" field</li> <li><strong>CA file</strong> - Specify the location of a Valid SSL Certificate for use during the connection</li> </ul> <li>After selecting your preferences, click <strong>OK</strong> to continue.</li> <li>The <strong>Connection</strong> Tab takes a combination of required and optional parameters required to make a connection to the target database:</li> <ul> <li><strong>User name</strong> - A valid Microsoft SQL Server username. Windows Authentication may be triggered by using the DOMAIN\username syntax.</li> <li><strong>Choose a database, charset, language to use with the data source</strong></li> <li><strong>Password</strong> - A valid Microsoft SQL Server (or Windows Authentication) password</li> <li><strong>Database</strong> - The Microsoft SQL Server catalog/schema you want to work with</li> <li><strong>Language</strong> - The language for SQL Server error messages</li> <li><strong>Character set</strong> - The character set (a/k/a codepage) required by your ODBC client application. For most users, the default is best. The driver will automatically translate between this codepage and whatever the SQL Server is using.</li> <li><strong>Disable character set translation</strong> - All character IDs will be passed directly from ODBC client application to SQL Server, with no translation. This is rarely desirable and is provided to address historic issues.</li> <li>Click <strong>Continue</strong>.</li> <li>The <strong>Options</strong> tab enables you to set some standard and Microsoft SQL Server specific parameters:</li> <ul> <li><strong>Row Buffer Size</strong> - This attribute specifies the number of records to be transported over the network in a single network hop. Values can range from 1 to 99.</li> <li><strong>Hide Login Dialog</strong> - Suppresses the ODBC "Username" and "Password" login dialog boxes when interacting with your ODBC DSN from within an ODBC compliant application.</li> <li><strong>Read Only connection</strong> - Specifies whether the connection is "Read-only." Make sure the checkbox is unchecked to request a "Read/Write" connection.</li> <li><strong>TDS packet size</strong> - A value that determines the number of bytes per network packet transferred from the database server to the client. The correct setting of this attribute can improve performance. When set to 0, the initial default, the driver uses the default packet size as specified in the Sybase server configuration. When set to -1, the driver computes the maximum allowable packet size on the first connect to the data source and saves the value in the system information. When set to x, an integer from 1 to 10, which indicates a multiple of 512 bytes (for example, Packet Size of 6 means to set the packet size to 6 * 512 equal 3072 bytes). For you to take advantage of this connection attribute, you must configure the System 10 server for a maximum network packet size greater than or equal to the value you specified for Packet Size.</li> <li><strong>Prepare Method</strong> - This option is specific to the TDS Driver for Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server. It can take the values None, Partial, or Full (connectoptions -O [0, 1, 2] respectively). It is used to determine whether stored procedures are created on the server for calls to SQLPrepare().</li> <li><strong>No Quoted Identifiers</strong> - This option indicates that the underlying driver does not support quoted identifiers, which is required for Jet engine based products like MS Access.</li> <li><strong>Use ANSI nulls, padding and warnings</strong> - This option affects TDS agent & Lite Driver connections to Microsoft SQL Server databases. Sybase connectivity is not affected.</li> <li><strong>Map Serializable to Snapshot isolation level</strong> - Enable Snapshot transaction isolation level in the driver. Snapshot Isolation is a new transaction isolation level first available in Microsoft SQL Server 2005.</li> <li><strong>SQL_DBMS Name</strong> - Manuallyoverrides the SQLGetInfo(SQL_DBMS_NAME) response returned by the driver.

Download these documents using binary-preserving methods (e.g., ftp in BIN mode, or scp), and place them in your installation folder. </li> <li> Run the following command to start the installation: <br> <pre><code>sh install.sh</code></pre> <br> You must choose a TCP port at which the OpenLink Request Broker will listen for requests. The default is 5000. You will need to know this port number and the Broker host's IP address or hostname when configuring ODBC Data Source Names (DSNs). You must choose a TCP port at which the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant will listen for requests. The default is 8000. You will need to know this port number and the Broker host's IP address or hostname to access your Admistrator in a Web browser. The URL will look like this: <br> <code>http://broker-host.example.com:8000/</code> </li> <li> Additional Configuration Parameters: <ul> <li> <strong>Log file?</strong> enables you to specify the name and location of the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant's log file. It is best to go with the default. </li> <li> <strong>You can choose to log all requests</strong> made to the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant. This is not diagnostic-level ODBC tracing nor multi-tier connection logging. The default is no, and this is generally appropriate. </li> <li> <strong>You can change the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant's default username</strong> from "<code>admin</code>." This is the username you will use when working with the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant. (You can set up other usernames later; consider this one similar to "<code>root</code>.") </li> <li> <strong>You can change the OpenLink Request Broker's HTTP-based Admin Assistant's default password</strong> from "<code>admin</code>." This is the password associated with the username you just set. </li> </ul> The Installation is complete. </li> <li> Optionally, The domain section of the rulebook contains the Database Agent connection parameters for the outgoing connections towards your Oracle database. <br> Default Database Agent names for oracle use the following pattern: <br> <code>[generic_ora{{version}}]</code>. For Example, the Oracle 12 parameters are located in: <br> <code>[generic_ora12]</code>. <br> Locate your Database Agent, and uncomment the "<strong>Connect Options</strong>" parameter. <br> Add your hostname and port values using the following template: <br> <code>Connect Options = -H {{host}} -P {{port number}}</code>. <br> Configuration is complete. </li> <li> Installation is complete, proceed to making a test connection with your Client Component installation. </li> </ol>

OpenLink ODBC Driver Installation for Linux
<ol> <li> The installation files ship as an installation shell script, a driver and admin <code>.taz</code> file, and a license <code>.lic</code> file. The installation shell script should be ftp'd in ascii. The rest of the files should be ftp'd in binary, where applicable. </li> <li> Downloads these documents, and place them in your desired installation folder. </li> <li> Start the installation process by opening the installation directory using <code>cd</code>, and running <code>sh install.sh</code>. </li> <li> You must choose a TCP port on which to run your HTTP-based iODBC Data Sources Administrator. The default is 8000. You will need to know this port number and your local machine's IP address or hostname to access your Admistrator in a Web browser. This is how you call it: <code>http://machine:portnumber</code> </li> <li> <strong>Log File?</strong> enables you to rename and relocate your Administrative Assistant's log file. It is best to go with the default. </li> <li> You can choose to log all requests. This is not diagnostic-level odbc tracing or connection logging. The default is no. </li> <li> You can change the iODBC Data Source Administrator's default username from "<code>admin</code>." This is the name that you will need to login to OpenLink's HTTP-based iODBC Data Sources Administrator. </li> <li> You can change the iODBC Data Source Administrator's default password from "<code>admin</code>." </li> <li> The installation is complete. </li> </ol>
