Updating the ODBC.ini file

When you use the mqsimigratecomponents command on any UNIX system, you must update the .odbc.ini file to a Version 6.0 format in order to achieve successful migration.

To create a Version 6.0 .odbc.ini file:

  1. Rename the Version 2.1 or Version 5.0 .odbc.ini file to odbc.ini.old.version.
  2. Copy the template .odbc.ini file in the Version 6.0 installation directory to the location of the old .odbc.ini file and rename it .odbc.ini. If you are using the default installation location, use the following command: cp /opt/IBM/mqsi/6.0/merant/odbc.ini /var/mqsi/odbc/.odbc.ini.
  3. Modify the .odbc.ini file with the correct details for connections to all broker and user databases that were given in the previous version's .odbc.ini file.
You have successfully updated the .odbc.ini file.
