Setting your environment to access databases

When you have configured your ODBC data source names, you must also configure the environment for issuing console commands, and for running the broker, so that it can access the required database libraries. For example, if you have a DB2 broker database, you must add the DB2 client libraries to your library search path.

On Windows platforms, this is likely to have been done for you when you installed the database product.

On UNIX systems, and Linux, you need to run a profile for each database you need to access. For example, on DB2 you must run db2profile; other database vendors have similar profiles.

On all 64-bit platforms except HP-UX (Integrity platform), you must ensure that the broker has an environment that presents 32-bit database libraries; the default database profile might present 64-bit libraries.

If you are using WebSphere MQ Version 6, refer to the section 'Implications of a 64-bit queue manager' in WebSphere MQ Quick Beginnings for your operating environment.

To set the broker's environment to present 32-bit database libraries:

When you have set your environment to access databases, return to the instructions in Configuring databases.
