InfoSphere Information Analyzer analysis settings failing with error while loading shared libraries:libodbc.so.1 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory .

Diagnosing The Problem

Test the .odbc.ini Data Source defined and used for the column analysis using the example utility.

cd $DSHOME
. ./dsenv
cd ../branded_odbc/example
./example

Resolving The Problem

When testing with example program, if you determine that it is missing soft links expected for DataDirect drivers, you need to add the links.
