WebSphere® Message Broker ODBC Database Extender encapsulates
the unixODBC driver manager, which is an implementation of the Open
DataBase Connectivity interface for UNIX systems.
This topic describes how you install WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender.
WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender is
required when using
WebSphere Message
Broker to
interface with an ODBC data source that is not supported through the
DataDirect ODBC drivers.
Note: Applies to Linux and UNIX only - If you install the Broker component, WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender is automatically installed
in silent mode when the installation of the Broker component completes. In this
case, there is no need to follow the installation steps provided in
this topic.
- To install the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender,
download the package for your platform to the directory of your choice,
or select the option to install the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender from
the product disk.
To download the package externally,
select WebSphere Message
Broker on the WebSphere MQ SupportPacs web page and locate the
package file.
The package file is called install-ie02.bin on all platforms.
This
package must be run with the same privileges (typically root) that
you used when installing WebSphere Message
Broker.
The default WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender installation
directory is /opt/ibm/IE02/2.0.0.
- Run the installer in one of the following modes:
- Graphical. From within
the directory where you downloaded the package file, run the following
command:
./install-ie02.bin
The
installer launches within a separate window and guides you through
the installation process. However, if the installer cannot launch
in Graphical mode, it launches in console mode.
- Console. From within
the directory where you downloaded the package file, run the following
command:
./install-ie02.bin –i console
The
installer launches, and guides you through the installation process
from within the same console as the command was run.
- Silent. When specifying
a silent installation, a response file is required to define the required
responses to the options provided by the installer. See following
example file:
# This file was built by the Replay feature of InstallAnywhere.
# It contains variables that were set by Panels, Consoles or Custom
# Code.
#Has the license been accepted
#-----------------------------
LICENSE_ACCEPTED=TRUE
#Choose Install Folder
#---------------------
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/ibm/IE02/2.0.0
Note
the above example specifies that the license has been accepted. By
using this example script you are accepting the terms of the license
agreement.
The response file must be named installer.properties and
must be located in the same directory as the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender installer.
Run the following
command from within the directory where you downloaded the WebSphere Message Broker ODBC Database Extender: ./install-ie02.bin –i silent
After
the installation has completed, review the installation log that is
located under the installation path specified during the installation.
The file name of the log is: WebSphere_Message_Broker_ODBC_Database_Extender_InstallLog.log.
If
you are installing over a previous installation (within the same installation
directory), the previous installation is silently uninstalled before
the new version is installed.
