LOTUS CONNECTORS

Understanding and Using the ODBC Drivers
DataDirectR ODBC drivers can be used with the Lotus Connector for ODBC. These include the DataDirect SybaseR, OracleR, InformixR, DB2R, and SQL Server ODBC wire protocols. IBMR LotusR Enterprise Integrator (LEI) and IBMR LotusR Domino(TM) Enterprise Connection Services (DECS) support the supplied Lotus-branded DataDirect ODBC driver.

For a list of supported connector data drivers, especially the Lotus-branded DataDirect ODBC Wire Prototol drivers, see the LEI readme at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/documentation/lei for this release.

To specify and use one of the DataDirect ODBC driver pack drivers with your Lotus Connector for ODBC, you must first configure the driver and assign it a data source name (DSN).

The ODBC DataDirect Lotus-branded drivers are available for download on IBMR Passport Advantage for licensed LEI users at http://www.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage.

Note DataDirect drivers are installed on the IBM i platform by the IBMR LotusR Domino(TM) installation program.

For IBM i Users

To use the Lotus Connector for ODBC on IBM i, you must have 5722SS1 Option 33 IBM i Portable Application Solutions Environment (Pase) installed. Pase is only supported on certain hardware models.
