I am currently running Broker 6.0. I plan to upgrade to Broker 6.1 by installing 6.1 on a brand new lpar, and then switching over to the new lpar. Therefore I won't be doing an in-place upgrade.
I am confused about the .odbc .ini. Under Broker 6.0, I have a .odbc.ini file, but under 6.1 it seems that I can also have a 64-bit .odbc.ini.
I plan to define all the DFEs on the 6.1 system as 64 bit. Does this mean that the broker will look for the 64-bit .odbc.ini file ?
Should I define all my databases in both a 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC file ?
Any help in this area would be appreciated. Thanks. |

6.0 default execution group mode is 32 bit.
6.1 default execution group mode is 64 bit.
Some older plug-in nodes may require 32 bit. Generally safer to set both ini files up so that either mode can be used.
Define the odbc references as needed. If the flows are all 64 bit you don't need the 32 bit reference. |

May I ask which platform this is on? zpat is right that the defaults changed between 6.0 and 6.1, however the picture is not exactly the same on all platforms. Should you wish to look at the documentation, you can find the information under the following page names:
6.0: ah09182
6.1: ah62600 |

| This is on the AIX platform. |

I'd guess that it is either AIX or Z/OS as the op mentions a new LPAR.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

With V6.1 on AIX, the Broker core components and commands are 64bit. If you have 64bit execution groups as well then you only need to set up the 64bit odbc.ini file because nothing is running at 32bit. However it does no harm to set up the 32bit odbc.ini as well.
Be careful when setting up the environment variables to point to these files because the names have changed from ODBCINI/ODBCINI64 to ODBCINI32/ODBCINI. See this page for more information:
