Omnis Read-Only ODBC Driver (v4.2) ---------------------------------- 1. Windows Installation To install the Omnis datafile ODBC driver, run "Omnis ODBC Driver.exe" or "Omnis Unicode ODBC Driver.exe". This installer: - Creates an "Omnis" folder inside the Windows System/System32 folder and copies the ODBC driver into this folder (omodbc32.dll\omodbcu32.dll). - Creates registry entries for the new driver. - Updates any existing datasources to use the new ODBC driver. - Removes the old driver (if found). The Omnis ODBC Driver should then appear in the ODBC Administrator 'Drivers' pane. 2. Macintosh Installation To install the Omnis datafile ODBC driver, double-click the "OMNIS ODBC Driver.zip" or "Unicode ODBC Driver.zip" archive to extract the installer program. Run the installer. This installer: - Copies the Omnis ODBC Driver (bundle) to your /Library/ODBC folder. - Edits/creates your /Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini file and adds entries necessary to register the driver. - If installing the Unicode driver, a Frameworks folder is also created in the Openlink ODBC Administrator.app. Runtime Unicode libraries required by the driver are then copied into this folder. When successful, you should see the driver listed with it's version number from the "ODBC Drivers" tab of the ODBC Administrator. 3. Notes Data files to be accessed via ODBC must have their ODBCACCESSMASKs set and should be enabled with one or more ODBC Users. (See the Studio ODBCAdmin utility for details). To use the Unicode ODBC Driver for Mac OS X, the Openlink ODBC Administrator (available from www.openlinksw.com) may be required. This is becasue the ODBC Administrator supplied by default with Mac OS X (10.4.x) is not Unicode compliant. iODBC Administrator version 3.52.4 or higher should be used.
