WINDOWS ODBC


                      =================================
                            MACHINE SPECIFIC NOTES
                                    FOR
              HCL OneDB Client SDK 1.0.1.0 PRODUCT RELEASE
                    HCL OneDB ODBC Driver Version 1.0
                               On Windows x64
                               DATE: 15 May 2021
                      =================================

OS Information : Built on Windows Server 2016 x64.

Machine Specific Notes
======================

1.  This product supports the following compiler:

        Microsoft Visual Studio 2017

    This product is built on Windows 2016 using the following compiler from
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2017:

        Microsoft Visual C++ 2017

2.  Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)

    PAM functionality is supported. Use of PAM can be enabled or disabled by 
    the system administrator. By default, HCL OneDB will use the traditional 
    authentication mechanism in order to avoid widespread changes required 
    by the users.

3.  IPv6 Support 
  
    OneDB supports Internet Protocol Version 6 (128 Bit Internet Addresses)
    as well as IPv4 (32 Bit Addresses).

    In order for the machine name specified in the SQLHOSTS registry to resolve
    to the correct IP address, the name services files on the Operating System 
    should be correctly configured.

    For compatibility with older HCL OneDB client and server products, 
    assign the same hostname with both an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address. 
    If the listener needs to be bound to an IPv4 address and the name services 
    resolve the name in the order of the IPv6 address followed by IPv4 address,
    then an explicit IPv4 address needs to be put in the nodename field of the
    server registry. Client applications should also use the same setting.


4.  Workaround to list ODBC driver in Data Sources(ODBC Window)

    Warning:  As we will be modifying the registry, performing a registry
              back-up is recommended.

    1) Copy the lines between BEGIN and END block, save it as a
       file(for example, ifmx_odbc_driver.txt) in any location in your
       hard drive (for example in C:\MyFolder\).
       NOTE: All lines should start at column 1(no spaces before start of line)

       BEGIN Block
       Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

       [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
       "HCL ONEDB ODBC DRIVER"="installed"

       [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\HCL ONEDB ODBC DRIVER]
       "Driver"="INFORMIXDIR\bin\iclit09b.dll"
       "Setup"="INFORMIXDIR\bin\iclit09b.dll"
       "SQLLevel"="1"
       "FileUsage"="0"
       "DriverODBCVer"="03.51"
       "ConnectFunctions"="YYY"
       "APILevel"="1"
       "CPTimeout"="<not pooled>"
        END   Block

    2) Edit ifmx_odbc_driver.txt to replace INFORMIXDIR to the installed
       location of HCL OneDB Client SDK. For example, if HCL OneDB CLient SDK is installed in c:\HCL\ folder,
       then replace INFORMIXDIR with c:\HCL.

    3) Rename ifmx_odbc_driver.txt to  ifmx_odbc_driver.reg.  To update
       the registry, either double click on the ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file or
       type the following line from a command prompt.

       regedit c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg

       Click Yes, when you get the following message:
       "Are you sure you want to add the information in
       c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file to the registry?"

       Click OK, when you get the following message:
       "Information in c:\MyFolder\ifmx_odbc_driver.reg file has been
        successfully entered into the registry."

    4) You can now configure ODBC DSNs  by running odbcad32.exe
