Progress DataDirect Connect and Connect64 for ODBC Informix Wire Protocol Driver Version 7.1.6 (32- and 64-bit drivers are available for all supported databases and platforms unless otherwise noted.).

The following shows you how I got an ODBC connection to DB2 on a Windows Server 2008R2. After doing a search on the Internet I found that really helped me a lot.

They do it a bit different. NEW If you also want to install the IBM Control Center you might want to look at this. This also installs the ODBC out-of-the-box.

If your need a 32 or 64-bit version for Windows and DB2 version 9.7. You should look for something like this. On this you can find and download the ODBC-drivers that fits your system. I you don’t know what version of DB2 that you’re running, you can contact your DBA. The DB2-version can be found using the command.

Choose either ODBC 32-bit or 64-bit for your DB2-version and download it for Windows. If your need a 64-bit version of the ODBC-driver for Windows and DB2 version 9.7. You should look for something like this. You need to create an IBM-account to download the file.

Copy the content of ZIP-file containing the ODBC-driver that you just downloaded to c: program files IBM. The path is optional, you can choose a different path if you want to or are using a 32-bit ODBC-driver. The files and folders in c: program files IBM, should look something like this. Start a Windows command-prompt as administrator. If you don’t know how to do this, you can take a look at this. Go to the folder c: program files IBM bin and type db2oreg1 –i (if you later want to uninstall it type db2org1 –u). Go to the folder c: program files IBM bin and type db2oreg1 –setup (Thanks to Noel for this comment).

This will register the DB2 ODBC-driver in Data Sources (ODBC) on Windows. You can take a look at the drivers tab. If you have installed af 32-bit version of the ODBC-driver on a 64-bit system, then you have to look in the 32-bit version of the ODBC Administrator to find the driver. The 32-bit version of the ODBC Administrator can be found here: C: Windows SysWOW64 odbcad32.exe (Thanks to Grae for this comment) Now you have to setup a ODBC-driver for DB2.

You can either make a System or User DSN. In this example i’m creating a User DSN. Go to the User DSN-tab and press the Add-button.

Choose the DB2 ODBC-driver and press the Finish-button. Give the DSN a name that you can use in your programs. Here I have just given it the name DB2DB. Then press the Add-button and go to the Advanced Settings-tab. Here you need to press the Add-button to add the settings below. Database: Should point to the database that you want to connect to.

Hostname: Should point to the server where your DB2-server is installed. Port: The portnumber where the DB2-server on the Hostname is responding. Protocol: The protocol used to connect to the DB2-server. There’s different options as you can se in the picture below. The final settings should be the ones listed below. Now you press the OK-button and you have a new DB2 ODBC connection and your done. Sony vegas pro torrent crack down.

You can now use this DB2 ODBC connection in your different programs. NOTE If you get the error described below in SAS.

Then you most likely didn’t install the correct version 32/64-bit for your operating system. Install the correct bit-version of the Control Center from the pack (further information at the start of this post). The SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 cannot be loaded.

The SASDBU code appendage could not be loaded This entry was posted in, and tagged,,. Bookmark the. Hello Sir, Thanks for putting such a nice article. It was been of great help. I followed the step and did manage to get driver installed. I am trying to connect and getting below error.

SQL8002N An attempt to connect to a host failed due to a missing DB2 Connect product or invalid license. Please suggest: a. Do we need DB2 connect ( version 9.7 64 bit) software ( Licensed version) so that the driver can work b. If yes than what is the work around to connect to DB2 ( z/OS) using vbscript or.net using code directly. Please note: We don’t have DB2 Connect v9.7 installed in our machine.

Great article. A few notes on my experience in getting Excel 2013 to use ODBC to DB2 via MS Query on Win7 64bit First, had to use the 32 bit driver (think MS Query may still be 32 bit). I used 10.5 and installed as above, using both the commands above to register it (being sure to run cmd shell as administrator).

From there used 32 bit ODBC to confirm driver was available and to set up a *User* DSN as described above (Excel does not seem to see system DSN’s). Final key to the puzzle is to run Excel in compatibility mode for Win XP SP3 (right click on Excel and set). A couple of hints: 1. At the command prompt, it seems the command to install has changed. Type: db2cli uninstall -setup Note: To access help, type db2cli -help 2.
