The ODBC driver V3.1 and V3.2

Edit online

For non-Java based applications and tools, use the ODBC driver to access data that is made available through Data Virtualization Manager.

The ODBC driver implements the ODBC Direct network protocol that is used to connect to the Data Virtualization Manager server, and uses the ODBC API to execute SQL queries. The driver implements all of the core level 1, and all but one method of the level 2 ODBC functionality.

Supported Platform

The Data Virtualization Manager server ODBC 3.1 and 3.2 drivers support the following platforms:

Table 1. Supported platforms for DVM ODBC driver 3.1
Platform Supported 32-bit 64-bit
WINDOWS YES YES
Table 2. Supported platforms for DVM ODBC driver 3.2
Platform Supported 32-bit 64-bit
RHEL 7 YES YES
RHEL 8 NO YES
SUSE LINUX 11 YES YES
AIX SERVER V7.1 NO YES
WINDOWS YES YES
UBUNTU 18.04.4 on ZLINUX NO YES
The following ODBC drivers are installed:

  • IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS driver

  • IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS Debug driver

The Debug driver incorporates an advanced tracing component that allows for detailed tracing of ODBC calls. It should be utilized during application development in case problems are encountered and there is a need to contact Customer Support. After applications have been developed and debugged, the code should be modified to use the IBM Data Virtualization Manager for z/OS driver. The Debug driver’s performance may be slightly less than the driver.
