Abstract This document contains information about the stand alone IBM Data server driver for ODBC and CLI Versions 9.1, 9.5, 9.7, 10.1 and 10.5. Briefly described below are the following topics: Overview, License, Download, Installation, and Related Information. Content Overview License Download Installation Related information What is it? Starting from DB2 Version 9.1, there is a separate stand alone CLI and ODBC driver called the IBM® Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI. This driver is installed and configured separately and supports a subset of the functionality of the IBM® Data Server Clients. It Provides runtime support for applications using CLI APIs, or ODBC APIs without the need of installing the Data Server Client or the Data Server Runtime Client. This driver is available only as a compressed file, not as an installable image. Messages are reported only in English. The IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI provides runtime support for: the DB2® CLI application programming interface ( API) the ODBC API the XA API database connectivity the DB2 Interactive Call Level Interface (db2cli) LDAP support (but LDAP cache is not saved to disk) tracing, logging, and diagnostic support. Who Uses it? The IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI is a lightweight deployment solution designed for independent software vendors ( ISV) deployments. Why use it? The driver has a much smaller footprint than the IBM Data Server Client and the IBM Data Server Runtime Client. You can have multiple installations of the driver on a single machine. You can install the driver on a machine that already has an IBM Data Server Client installed. You can include the driver in your database application installation package, and redistribute the driver with your applications. Under certain conditions, you can redistribute the driver with your database applications royalty-free. The driver can.

Technote (troubleshooting) Problem( Abstract) When performing the Test Connect from the ODBC Data Source Administrator I receive the following warning: [ IBM ( Data Direct OEM)][ ODBC DB2 Wire Protocol driver] Connection refused. Verify Host Name and Port Number. Diagnosing the problem Verify the Host Name and Port Number: To determine the port number: The port number which you have to specify is the one of your DB2 DRDA listener on your AS400 (by default port 446). This may or may not be started yet. To check if your DRDA listener has been started, is active, and that you have specified the correct port number: Log on to your AS400 Type netstat Select option 3 - work with tcp/ip connection status In the local port column you will find 'drda' if the DRDA listener has been started successfully. Choose PF14 to find out the port number on which it listens. If DRDA is not currently listening, the AS/400 command CHGDDMTCPA AUTOSTART YES) PWDRQD YES) will start the listener. Use ping to verify you can reach the host, e.g. ping . Use telent to verify the port is not blocked, e.g. telnet Open up a command ( DOS) window and type: telnet ip 446 If it is successful it will bring you to a blank screen. To get out of the blank screen use ctrl + ] to escape. this will then leave you at a telnet> prompt where you type quit. If it is not successful you will receive an error. For example: Could not open connection to the host, on port 446: Connect failed., this indicates that the connection is blocked, most likely by a firewall. If you are not able to connect to it via telnet then you need to work with your System Administrator or Network Administrator to resolve it. Resolving the problem In this case the port was blocked. After allowing access through the firewall for the port the Test Connection was successful. Document information More support for.
