Configuring the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender

WebSphere® Message Broker ODBC Database Extender encapsulates the unixODBC driver manager, which is an implementation of the Open DataBase Connectivity interface for UNIX systems, and this topic describes how you configure it.

To allow WebSphere Message Broker to take advantage of the additional database support, it needs to know where you have installed the SupportPac. The location of the SupportPac needs to be set by the value of the environment variable IE02_PATH.
This environment variable is automatically set within the WebSphere Message Broker profile during the installation of the SupportPac, by the creation of a script. The script name contains the pattern IE02 and is placed within the directory /var/mqsi/common/profiles. See the following example file:
#!/usr/bin/sh
# This file was created as part of the IBM WebSphere Message
Broker ODBC
# Database Extender SupportPac install
export IE02_PATH=/opt/ibm/IE02/2.0.0

If you alter the location of your $MQSI_WORKPATH and, therefore, alter the location where WebSphere Message Broker dynamically runs additional scripts while loading its profile, you must either copy the existing file, or create a new file containing the required contents within your new ${MQSI_WORKPATH}/common/profiles directory.

You must not put the lib directory of the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender into your library path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent). If you do so, the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender is not correctly loaded by WebSphere Message Broker and unpredictable results can occur.
