Installing the ODBC driver on UNIX and Linux

Applications using ODBC to access the Hybrid Data Pipeline connectivity service require access to a properly configured Hybrid Data Pipeline Driver for ODBC.
During installation of the Hybrid Data Pipeline server, four configuration and certificate files are generated. For a standalone deployment, these files are located in the Hybrid Data Pipeline installation directory <install_dir>/redist. For a load balancer deployment, these files are stored in a key location specified during installation. These files must be copied to the directory from which the ODBC driver installation program will be run. The files are:
*config.properties
*OnPremise.properties
*ddcloud.pem
*ddcloudTrustStore.jks
Take the following steps to install the driver on a local drive.
1. Download the driver installation file to a temporary directory.
2. Copy the four configuration and certificate files from the Hybrid Data Pipeline server installation into the temporary directory with the installer file.
3. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the driver installation file. Alternatively, place the directory on your path before proceeding to the next step.
4. Make the file an executable using the chmod command. Then press ENTER. For example:
chmod +x ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_ODBC_4.6.0_AIX_64_INSTALL.bin
5. Run the installer from the command-line prompt. Then press ENTER. For example:
./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_ODBC_4.6.0_AIX_64_INSTALL.bin
6. The Introduction window opens. Click Next to continue.
Note: You can exit the installation program at any time by clicking Cancel, or return to the previous window by clicking Previous.
7. Choose the type of installation to perform. Select one of the following options:
*Standard Installation. Select this option to install the standard unbranded version of the driver. Click Next to continue with the installation. Continue at the next step.
*OEM Installation. Select this option if you have purchased a licensed version of the product. Refer to the Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline for ODBC Distribution Guide for information on installing, branding, unlocking, and distributing your branded driver.
8. In the Where Would You Like to Install? field, type the path, including the drive letter, of the product installation directory or click the Choose button to browse to and select an installation directory. Then click Next.
Verify that you have entered or selected the correct installation directory, and click Next to continue.
9. Click Next. The Pre-Installation Summary window appears.
10. Review the Pre-Installation Summary window to confirm the installation setup. Click Previous to revise your choices. Click Install to proceed with the installation.
11. Click Done to exit the installer.
