Informix Client Drivers

Version	3.50
Last Update	11/9/2011
Statistics	100 meg Install Shield Setup from IBM.
Compatibility	Any tool that needs to connect to the Connection 2.1(1) or later database needs the IBM Informix drivers installed to be able to connect. Each tool that needs it will link to this page and their respective setups will check to see if these drivers are installed first before proceeding. It's only necessary to install this once on each Windows box you intend to use to run remote Unity Connection tools. NOTE: Most older tools use the ODBC driver however some of the new .NET tools coming out including User Data Dump and COBRAS require the .NET driver. It's best to install ODBC, .NET and the GLS components from the client install below. The rest is not necessary. NOTE: If you install the driver via VPN you might have to reboot the system before it's available for use. It's best to install at the local console if you can.
Support	Support policy follows the tools that use these drivers.

Description

The help files for each tool that uses the remote database proxy service to attach to Connection has instructions for how to configure the remote ODBC access from off box. You must create an account with remote administration access and enabled/activate the remote proxy service before you can use it - out of the box Connection has this disabled for security purposes.

The Informix drivers are used by off box tools that connect to Unity Connection 2.1(1) or later systems via the database proxy service.
