Hello

I am trying to set up ODBC connectivity from my OpenShift platform to an on-prem database.

I followed the steps in https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTTDS_11.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/bk58060_.html

(My only concern was the note that the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files should be owned by mqbrkrs and have 664 permissions - these 2 files were created when I set up ConfigMaps on the OKD console and they are as follows:


Code:
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Sep 17 10:58 odbc.ini -> ..data/odbc.ini
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Sep 17 10:58 odbcinst.ini -> ..data/odbcinst.ini


I cannot change the permissions because it's a read-only file system.
)

I ran mqsisetdbparms -n datasource -u user -p pwd

When I run mqsicvp -n datasource -u user -p pwd I get:

Code:
sh-4.4$ mqsicvp -n ESBDB -u xxx -p xxx
BIP8288W: Unable to read ODBCINI file '/home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/odbc.ini'. Check that this file exists, and that the integration node user ID has permission to read and write the file.
The integration node cannot read the file '/home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/odbc.ini', which is specified by the ODBCINI environment variable.
Ensure that the ODBCINI environment variable points to an existing file, and that the integration node user ID has permission to read and write the file.
BIP8295E: ODBC environment variables have not been set, or are invalid.
The integration node cannot verify user data sources because the ODBCINI, ODBCSYSINI, or IE02_PATH environment variables are not set, or because the ODBCINI environment variable is set incorrectly.
Ensure that the ODBCINI environment variable is set, and see earlier warning messages for further details.
sh-4.4$


In my Environment variables for this container, I have set:

Code:
ODBCINI = /home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/odbc.ini
ODBCSYSINI = /home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/odbcinst.ini


Questions:

1 Are the permissions for the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini files OK as they are?
2 Do I need to set IE02_PATH environment variable? If so, to what?
3 Are my environment variables set correctly?

Thanks in advance

hi...if i read that correctly the odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini are just file shortcuts to ..data/odbc.ini and ..data/odbcinst.ini respectively? If so what are the permissions for those files?

I searched for the odbc.ini file. This is what I got:

Most shells can redirect unrelated error messages for "find":

Code:
sh-4.4$ find / -name odbc.ini 2> /dev/null
/opt/ibm/ace-11/server/ODBC/unixodbc/odbc.ini
/home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini
/home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/..2020_09_17_10_58_25.629061152/odbc.ini
/home/aceuser/ace-server/odbc.ini/odbc.ini

What is that "..2020_09_17_10_58_25.629061152" directory for?

The "l" in the first column indicates that these are symbolic links, pointing to where the actual files should be. ".." is often used to indicate the parent directory, followed by "/", to indicate a relative path to a file from there. In this case though, based on the "find" output, neither the "..data" or "../data" directories seem to exist, or else they don't contain the desired ".ini" files.

Try displaying the contents of the files, (with "cat", "more", "view", etc.). What happens?

$ODBCSYSINI needs to point to the directory containing the odbcinst.ini file.

1. The permissions for the symbolic links don't matter; what are the permissions for the files that they point to?
2. Look for an "ie02" directory under "/opt/ibm/ace-11/..." directory; IE02_PATH can probably point to that.
3. As mentioned above, $ODBCSYSINI needs to point to a directory. Beyond that, the environment variables need to resolve to files that exist.

"odbc.ini/odbc.ini" That doesn't seem right.
