Install the ODBC client to connect InfoSphere® Information Server to the InfoSphere Classic Federation Server for z/OS®.
About this task
The following list contains the ODBC client installation
programs:
- cac95ax – IBM® AIX®
- cac95zlx – SuSE Linux on IBM System z®
- cac95win.exe – Microsoft Windows
To install the ODBC client:
Procedure
- On IBM
InfoSphere Information Server, log in as a user with administrator authority (user root on UNIX and Linux).
A non-root
user can also install the client programs, but can update and uninstall
only that user's instance.
- Run the installation wizard.
Restriction: If you do not use the default installation path,
ensure that the directory you choose does not contain prior versions
of the ODBC client.
The default installation paths are as follows:
Linux: /opt/ibm/wsclassic95
UNIX: /opt/IBM/wsclassic95
Microsoft Windows: C:\Program Files\IBM\WSClassic95
If you install the client programs as a non-root user
on UNIX or Linux, the default installation path is $HOME/wsclassic95.

Results
If you need to troubleshoot an install session, log information
is available:
Microsoft Windows:
install_path\_log\log.txt
install_path\_log\install.log
For a more detailed debugging log, you can rerun the
installation program with the following options:
cac95wn.exe -is:log full_pathname_of_logfile -debug
Linux:
install_path/_log/log.txt
install_path/_log/install.log
For a more detailed debugging log, you can rerun the
installation program with the following options (AIX korn shell redirection syntax is used as
an example):
cac95ax -is:javaconsole -debug >full_pathname_of_logfile 2>&1
