ODBC Installation
This subsection describes how to install the client portion of the HP NonStop ODBC
Server product on a PC running Microsoft Windows when the client will be using
ODBC.
The client portion of the NonStop ODBC Server for ODBC includes these pieces:
•
HP ODBC SETUP, an easy-to-use Windows application that installs all NonStop
ODBC Server components for ODBC, makes numerous checks, and verifies the
installation. You use SETUP for the initial installation and for installing upgrades or
other components later. The NonStop ODBC SETUP application provides a stream
of information and question boxes as it installs. At each step, it suggests defaults
and guides you to the next step.
•
HP Connectivity Tool, a Windows application that uses the HP ODBC driver to
perform a number of connectivity tests with the NonStop system. You use the
Connectivity Tool to verify connectivity and to measure connect and messaging
times.
•
HP Debug Tool, a Windows application that provides traces of events in the HP
ODBC driver. You can trace the ODBC calls made by the application, the SQL
statements sent to the NonStop system, and the network messages.
•
HP ODBC driver, which runs under ODBC and provides connectivity to the
NonStop ODBC Server components on the NonStop system.
•
Communication drivers for the HP ODBC driver. All the communication drivers for
supported transports are provided.
•
A RUNME file from NOS-Target-Disk.ZNOS that contains all the needed PC
files, including the HP ODBC SETUP application, the HP Connectivity Tool, the HP
ODBC driver, and the communication drivers. RUNME is a compressed, self-
extracting file. These files support installation on 16-bit platforms, Win 3.1 and Win
3.11, as well as 32-bit platforms, Win 95 and Win NT 3.51 and 4.0.
•
HP Configuration Tool, in both 16-bit and 32-bit versions, which is an application
used to perform configuration management for the HP ODBC Release 2 system.
In addition to the HP components, Microsoft Corporation provides the following tools
with ODBC:
•
Microsoft ODBC Administrator, a Windows application that helps you install and
configure ODBC drivers (including the definition of datasources).
•
Microsoft ODBC Test, a Windows application that provides a conversational
interface to ODBC. You can issue single ODBC calls to connect and disconnect,
set parameter values, execute SQL, and obtain results.
Consult the Microsoft ODBC documentation to learn more about these tools. The
ODBC documentation also explains more about installing, configuring, and using
ODBC drivers.
