Go to add new data source, you will find “IBM OLE DB Provider for Informix” is listed under OLE DB providers. Click on apply and test connection.Īlmost Done! configuring your environment to connect to Informix.
Give any data source name and fill appropriate connection details.
#Setup informix odbc driver#
Select IBM INFORMIX ODBC DRIVER and click finish. Weird I know don’t ask me why it works this way but it does Don’t use Data Source Administrator tool in “Program Files>Administrative Tools” instead use “ C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad.exe” to add and configure new data source. The first entry is the service name then port number and protocol.Īfter editing the service file, you can create a new Open Data Base Connection (ODBC). The format of the service file is clearly mentioned to the beginning of the file. Service file can be found in “ C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc“. Then add a new entry to your services file. You will find the INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER environmental variables are filled with values regarding to default server. You can find Setnet32 application under “All programs>IBM Informix Client SDK”.įill Server information and Host information with correct details to your Informix server.
#Setup informix odbc install#
Then install the product including IBM data server driver package.Īfter installing the client SDK, use Setnet32 tool to configure a default Informix server. Otherwise you will prompt an error message saying add a prefix to path variable. The next step is to add a path to “C:\Windows\SysWOW64” to the beginning of the path environmental variable before installing the client SDK. You can download the latest version of client SDK from here. Don’t go for the 64bit versions unless you are working with BIDS 2008R2 or SQL 2012 Data Tools since anything before that (BIDS) is still a 32bit application, and your 64bit providers will not be shown on the providers list. It’s a freeware but you have to register on the IBM’s website to download the product. Hopefully this post will save you some leg work.įirst download the latest version of Informix Client Software Development Kit (32bit) from IBM’s website. Eventually I was able to achieve the successful connection to an Informix database from an SSIS package (Works for Excel etc. The IBM Informix 32 bit ODBC option will not be.
#Setup informix odbc 64 Bit#
Although it is referenced as '32' in the path name, it is a 64 bit administration tool. The path for this ODBC administrator utility is 'windirsystem32odbcad32.exe'. I had to go through stacks of IBM documentation, a lot of articles on the internet, and some trial and error before I reached a working solution. The menu optionAdministrative Tools->Data Sources (ODBC), is the Windows 7 utility used to maintain ODBC data sources and drivers. When you define a data source for a particular ODBC driver, the driver writes the values you specify in the ODBC setup dialog box to the ODBC.INI registry key. After some digging I came up with the following way to connect to Informix database through SSIS in a Windows 圆4 environment. ODBC initialization information is located in the HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI registry key. As with many 3rd party products IBM’s Informix OLEDB connection object is less then straight forward when it comes to configuring it to work with SSIS.
