Automated ODBC install on IBM i

[worksofliam]

In order to streamline the ODBC driver for IBM i installation, I am hosting the .rpm file (the driver package). Executing this shell script will install the driver for you automatically and you will not have to sign in with your IBM ID to download it.

Requires the following:

• yum
• bash
• wget

See Using ODBC here when installed.

I will update this script and the rpms as new versions are released.

#!/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/bash

yum install unixODBC-devel
wget --no-check-certificate https://worksofbarry.com/files/ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.11-0.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm
yum install ./ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.11-0.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm

---

Install:

1. chmod +x script.sh
2. ./script.sh

Hi Liam, if the new version is worth updating on your hosting place (ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.15-0.ibmi7.2.ppc64.rpm) please do update.
