LOTUS CONNECTORS

Understanding and Using the ODBC Drivers
DataDirect ODBC drivers can be used with the Lotus Connector for ODBC. These include the Data Direct Sybase, Oracle, Informix, DB2, and SQL Server ODBC wire protocols. LEI and DECS support the supplied Lotus-branded DataDirect ODBC driver.

For a list of supported connector data drivers, especially the Lotus-branded DataDirect ODBC Wire Prototol drivers, see the LEI readme.txt file located on the developerWorks Technical documentation page (http//www.lotus.com/ldd/doc) for this product release.

To specify and use one of the DataDirect ODBC driver pack drivers with your Lotus Connector for ODBC, you must first configure the driver and assign it a data source name (DSN).

The ODBC DataDirect Lotus-branded drivers are available for download on IBM Passport Advantage for licensed LEI users at the following Web address:

Note Data Direct drivers are installed on the i5/OS platform by the Domino installation program.
