Special Installation and Configuration Instructions

The special installation instructions either replace existing documented instructions or are new installation instructions that were created after the release of ECDA version 15.7.

Note: On Windows, ECDA links the Microsoft version of the ODBC Driver Manager. This allows you to use third-party ODBC Drivers with Windows based ECDA, and prevent you and Sybase from any ODBC driver vendor restriction.

Downloading the Oracle Instant Client Libraries Package
Obtain the Oracle Instant Client libraries from the Oracle Web site and install them into the DCO directory. As of version 15.0.1, ECDA Option for Oracle no longer ships with Oracle client libraries.
Installing Oracle Client Libraries in to the DCO Directory
Install the Oracle Instant Client libraries in to the DCO directory.
DCManager on AIX 7.1 on ECDA for Oracle and ECDA for ODBC
There is a known issue with the installer running on IBM AIX 7.1 in which the DCManager plug-in fails to register with Sybase Central™. As a result, Sybase Central can be started but no DCManager functionality is available.
ODBC Back-End (Target-Side) Drivers
Separate license files for non-Sybase target databases are required to use ECDA Option for ODBC.
Migration Utilities
Due to directory structure changes, you cannot use utilities to migrate to a newer installation.
Editing the sql.ini File
Run the ECDA related execution scripts to change the local version of sql.ini to the global version if you are not using dsedit.
