Installation of the ODBC/MX Client
Components of the MX connectivity service 
To fully install all components of connectivity service, you must install the following:
•
MXCS server components on a NonStop system.
•
ODBC/MX client interface on any Windows machine. 
Installing the Client Components
The client components must be installed on each client workstation that needs access 
to SQL/MX. Although you can download the installation file directly from the installation 
subvolume, in large installations, it may be more efficient to download the installation 
file to an internal web location for easier deployment to all client workstations. The 
client installation includes the following:
Microsoft ODBC 3.5 core components
ODBC/MX driver components
MS Code Page translator
HTML Help core components
You can install the client components on the same workstation as NSM/web or on a 
different workstation.
Installing and Running ODBC/MX version 2.0 Concurrently With 
MXCS Version 1.8
You can install and run ODBC/MX version 2.0 concurrently with MXCS version 1.8 
with the following restrictions:
•
A NonStop ODBC/MX version 1.8 client will not work with a NonStop MXCS 
version 2.0 service, nor will a NonStop MXCS version 1.8 service work with a 
NonStop ODBC/MX version 2.0 client. 
•
You must create different client data sources to connect to different versions of an 
MXCS server.
