How to install

Troubleshooting common issues

• Driver not showing in ODBC list - On Windows, run ODBC Administrator matching your app’s bitness (C:WindowsSystem32odbcad32.exe for 64‑bit, C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe for 32‑bit). Re‑run install as admin if missing.
• “SQL30081N” or network errors - Verify host, port, database name, and that the Db2 server is reachable. Check firewall rules and SSL/TLS settings if enabled.
• “Driver not found” at runtime - Add clidriver/bin (Windows) or clidriver/lib[64] (Linux) to PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Restart apps and services after changes.
• 32‑bit/64‑bit mismatch - The ibm db2 odbc driver must match the application bitness, not the OS. Install both variants if you run both app types.
• Authentication failures - Confirm user permissions on the Db2 server. If using LDAP/Kerberos, validate credentials and client configuration.
• Uninstall/reinstall - Remove the existing Db2 client or IBM Data Server Driver package, reboot, then reinstall the IBM DB2 ODBC Driver cleanly.
