Configuring Merant 3.6 ODBC Driver

Posted by LegacyUser on 30-Nov-2000 14:59

My colleague and I are trying to configure a Merant 3.6 ODBC driver on a win95 client. We are trying to connect to a 8.3b database on Unix AIX 4.33. What do we need to do on the client side and the server side? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jesse:

I used Knowledge base document #17204. It helped mostly,

what I struggled with is, you need to be sure you have TWO services running

on the Unix system 1 for the ODBC broker and one for the database server.

And that requires the DB server be started with the -H, -S, and -N options.

I my case I had to change my .pf file, shutdown and restart the database server.

Hope that helps, if you still have problems, let me know, I have a installation doc I started

(but didn't have time to finish) that has some of my notes as I went through this and some screen

shots of the Merant set up.
