Adabas D: Problems with the ODBC driver

Applies to

Adabas: Version 6.1, 10.0

Symptom:

You've installed the ODBC driver for ADABAS D under Windows, but you've got problems to access the database. Unfortunately there is no general recepy which helps to solve the problems, since there is a huge variety of possible causes. Anyway, here's a list of possibilities.

Please note, that the installation support for ADABAS D doesn't include support for the ODBC connection !

Solution:

  1. Linux: Check in xcontrol whether the remote SQL Server is started. If necessary, then the remote SQL Server can be started with
    $DBROOT/bin/x_server start
    

  2. Linux: Check, whether the following entry is contained in the file /etc/services :
    sql30           7200/tcp                # ADABAS D remote SQL
    
    If necessary, add it to that file. The line is usually present in S.u.S.E. Linux 5.0 or newer.

  3. Windows: The Linux server must be reachable via TCP/IP . Check, whether the server can be reached with telnet.

  4. Windows: In the hosts file an entry for the Linux server should exist, even if DNS is being used. You should also check this file for white spaces, that were entered by mistake.

  5. Windows: An entry for sql30 must be present in services. This is usually entered automatically by the ODBC setup, however you should check it anyway.
