Netezza ODBC driver 32 bit under Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

configuration:

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64 bit
6.1.7600 N/A Build 7600
1 Processor(s) Installed. XEON E5345

Netezza ODBC Driver 32bit
XI 3.1 SP3 [12.3.0.601.BOE_Titan_SP_REL]

problem:
The netezza driver version 4.5.2 is a 32 bit driver, but appears under the 64 bit ODBC administration panel (c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe).
The driver isn’t seen by the 32 bit ODBC administration panel (c:\windows\sysWOW64\odbcad32.exe).
So, seems to be, that the 32 bit driver fakes to be a 64 bit one …

i created fron 64 panel an ODBC connection to my db server and it works.
from the 32 bit panel i cannot create a connection, because the driver netezza is not in the list.

From the designer (XI31 SP3 [12.3.0.601.BOE_Titan_SP_REL]) i try to create a netezza ODBC connection. i don’t see the 64 bit ODBC connection and give it typing in the name. when i go ahead, i got the following error:

The server is not responding SBO0001
DBD: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

this problem i didn’t find in SAP support or in netezza support knowledge bases.

anyone has an idea, how i could force the netezza ODBC driver to be seen as 32 bit driver? [means, stopping to fake to be 64 bit …] :reallymad:

thanks in advance

Seems like you need to contact Netezza.

RESOLVED ! :smiley:

the problem was the netezza driver! we substituted the version 4.5.2 with 4.5.4. this installation asks, wheter to install 32 and/or 64 bit and now it works!

Just a question, which version did you install?

Netezza ODBC Driver 32bit 4.5.4

(written above … or may be i didn’t understand what you’re asking for)


Roland Jentsch (BOB member since 2006-02-07)

I gues I didn’t understand you correctly.

I just wanted to know if you had choizen to install the 32 or 64Bit driver. Seeing you last message it is the 32Bit driver.

Gues that Universe designer doesn’t realy like the 64Bit driver yet.

really, i installed both, finally

As of 3.1 SP3, Designer doesn’t like any native 64-bit drivers. See the supported platforms for SP3 - Middleware.

all bo is still 32 bit … (only a hpux version is 64)


Roland Jentsch (BOB member since 2006-02-07)

Our Netezza ODBC performance is attrocious compared to OLE DB. Since that isn’t supported by BO we’re trying JDBC. Crossing our fingers. Got Designer working. Crystal is still :hb:

I know its too late for the reply! for the people who are still looking for solution, I had similar error until today. I have managed to resolve by installing both 32 bit and 64 bit ODBC drivers. After this I have managed to see Netezza in 32 bit ODBC.
