Download SAP IQ 16.0 ODBC driver in Linux

[Donatas]

Hello,

Can you please advise me where I can find and download SAP IQ 16.0 ODBC driver for Linux?

Unfortunately but in the SAP Software Download portal I can find SAP IQ 16.0 ODBC drivers for AIX, HP-UX, OS400 and Solaris only but NOT for Linux.

Will you help me with this question?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Donatas

Hello donatas.budrys.bis,

Check the Document - SAP First Guidance – SAP NLS Solution with SAP IQ 16.x

Since a few Years, the ODBC Drivers are not delivered separately anymore, as they are part of the SAP IQ Network Client of your desired OS.

As harpreet.chaudhary already stated, you should install the files rather then copy them, as the process creates symbolic links for compability reasons

Hi Natalia,

I tested it and it works fine. Here are some more details

When you are in the SYBASE IQ NETWORK CLIENT 16.0 , you need to choose Linux ON X86)64 64BIT, from there you will download

IQNC160011P_1-20011248.TGZ - EBF26360.

Once you run setup.bin, choose custom install , when you come to option to the part where you only select ODBC drivers, if you are using console mode then type 2,3,5 , this choice will only install the ODBC drivers and after the install is complete you should have a log directory which has few logs like iq_odbc.out and IQ_Client_Suite.log which will tell where the drivers got installed.

Hi. What's next? I don’t get the odbc.ini file, do I need to create it myself? Please describe the procedure in more detail.

I download from the mentioned address but unfortunately ODBC driver installing is not working.

After installed that netclient , you need to set the environment variables by editing the user's .bash_profile -- eg.

cat .bash_profile

source /iquser/IQ.sh

Then you can have a try with ODBC under this user.

Please download Network client from

SYBASE IQ 16.0 (SUPPORT PACKAGES AND PATCHES)/

SYBASE IQ NETWORK CLIENT 16.0

run the install, choose custom install and then choose to install just the ODBC drivers.

Hi, Harpreet,

Do you mean I should download and choose odbc drivers from the "Sybase IQ Network Client 16.0 for Linux" version? We should install odbc drivers in the Linux PC.

Best regards,

That is correct, if you want just odbc drivers on Linux, then you will install just the drivers on the Linux pc
