IBM Integration Bus, Version 10.0.0.5 Operating Systems: AIX, HP-Itanium, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS


Enabling ODBC connections to the databases

Set up the resources and environment that the integration node requires for Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connections to databases on distributed systems.

Before you begin

Read the following topic: Configuring databases.

Note: In IBM® Integration Bus Version 10.0, you do not need to install the IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender program to use database nodes in your applications. The program code is installed as part of the IBM Integration Bus installation.

About this task

You can configure both ODBC and Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) connections for access to databases:

To enable connections on distributed systems:

Procedure

Define the ODBC DSNs according to your platform:
Windows platformOn Windows:
Follow the instructions in Connecting to a database from Windows systems.
Linux platformUNIX platformOn Linux and UNIX systems:
For all supported databases, follow the instructions in Connecting to a database from Linux and UNIX systems by using the IBM Integration ODBC Database Extender.
You have now configured the ODBC DSNs for your databases.

Results

You have now enabled the integration node to make connections to your databases.

What to do next

If you have been using the instructions in Working with databases, the next task is Configuring ODBC connections for globally coordinated transactions (optional).
