SAP IQ 16 connectivity via Docker Container

[former_member660796]

Hello,

Would it be possible connect to SAP IQ 16.0 via docker container ? and what drivers are needed for Linux based docker container.

Is there a public Docker image for SAP IQ connectivity already?

Best regards,

[RolandKramer]

Hello

the easiest Way ist to use SAP Data Intelligence 3.0 to connect to SAP IQ

See the Blog - SAP Data Intelligence – connecting the Dots …

If it works with ASE, it should work the same with IQ. Simply change the ASE host and port to match the IQ host and port. ASE uses Open Client connectivity. IQ supports this as well as it's native Command Sequence.

How are you connecting to ASE? Is this perl? Python? A C/C++ program? For things like Perl, Python, Ruby, and more there are drivers that you can install using the IQ client kit.'

For instance, the IQ network client for Linux is:

SAP IQ Network Client 16.1 SP04 (12071)
Linux download file: IQNC161004_0-80002768.TGZ

You can get this from the Software Download Center.

I am connecting to ASE via .Net Core libraries (AseConnection), and likely to connect IQ via ODBC.

I beleive I need to work how the installer updated the files and configuration in a Linux box and create a Docker image. Was inquiring if we have any image already for the same.

Thanks for the pointers to the installer.

Do you mean to have an application that runs within a docker container that connects to an IQ instance on premise or in the cloud on some sort of infrastructure as a service?

Yes Mark.

We have our internal cloud where the docker containers are deployed. It runs smoothly without any drivers for SybaseAse, but I wonder how we do the same for IQ where ODBC drivers need to be installed.
