Install JDBC on IDS 14
Sh To asked how to install JDBC with IDS 14. SangGyu Jeong said it can be downloaded from the IBM Informix developer tools page; Oyvind Gjerstad advised fetching the jar or a Maven dependency (com.ibm.informix jdbc 4.50.4.1) from the Maven repository. Sh To then found the real problem was a Server Studio connection error -908, solved as a bad onconfig configuration.

Hello, I'm a little confused. How do I install JDBC? In the IBM doc (6a), I can see that it's possible to install JDBC during the installation process of IDS 14, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.10/14.10?topic=installing-preparing-installation in the typical installation. If yes, why not in custom install? On the other side, in this video https://youtu.be/xsylAz5U1sY?t=604 I can see "No JDBC directory" And here, https://community.ibm.com/community/user/hybriddatamanagement/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?GroupId=4147&MessageKey=a59dc8cf-e1c2-4025-ae3e-cd7fb36d76b1&CommunityKey=cf5a1f39-c21f-4bc4-9ec2-7ca108f0a365&tab=digestviewer It said that it's possible to download from here https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.informix/jdbc/4.50.4.1 This file jdbc-4.50.4.1.jar And finally https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/informix-servers/14.10/14.10?topic=driver-installing-jdbc-in-graphical-console-mode the command for install is java -jar dir /setup.jar -i console do I need to run like this? java -jar jdbc-4.50.4.1.jar -i console So, what is the right/simple way for installing JDBC ?

Hello. It can be downloaded through the Informix JDBC link on the site below. https://www.ibm.com/products/informix/developer-tools I just tried it and I was able to get the ibm.jdbc.4.50.JC5.ALL.tar file. ------------------------------ SangGyu Jeong Software Engineer Infrasoft Seoul Korea, Republic of ------------------------------
Thanks a lot ------------------------------ Sh To ------------------------------
The simplest, especially if you are using maven for building, is to just get it from the main maven repository (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2), as part of the normal build procedure. Add this to pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>com.ibm.informix</groupId> <artifactId>jdbc</artifactId> <version>4.50.4.1</version> <!-- or whatever version you are interested in --> <scope>compile</scope> <!-- or test, depends on your requirements --> </dependency> Since it is available here, it is also possible to simply download the required jar file from, say https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ibm/informix/jdbc/4.50.4.1/jdbc-4.50.4.1.jar ------------------------------ Øyvind Gjerstad Developer/Architect PostNord AS ------------------------------
Hello In fact I just have connection problem with Server Studio after i upgraded IDS to 14 I thought that it was a JDBC problem. But it s not. Will try to figure out why it doesn't connect (error -908) Thanks ------------------------------ Sh To ------------------------------
