Re: Access iSeries from windows and odbc question -- MIDRANGE-L

I can't remember which version this changed on, but it was recent. It USED to be that you'd have to install the whole bloated mess just to get the ODBC driver, but now you can install JUST the ODBC component without all the other stuff.

Just make sure you take the custom or selective install process.

You can put just the OBDC from Client Access onto a PC and do not need
any

license. Emulator and file transfer are the only pieces that require

a

license to CA. When installing, do a custom and uncheck all but obdc

and
required programs.

Main reason is cost of license. I have a site license for a basic
5250

client that has all the functionality that 99% of my user community needs. Client access is overkill and costs too much to deploy to everyone. I would like to get ODBC access without having to put all

the

other "stuff" on a machine. -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
