12.5.3 is rather old for now.
But you can still use it in win2008. I assume you have installed ODBC components in your ASE database server on windows system.
All the thing you need do is to copy the subdir ODBC from %SYBASE%
into the target win2008 machine, like:
d:\SybaseASE_ODBC, and the ODBC is its subdir.
Then you can populate the following registry entry by execute it with admin privilege.
- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers]
- "SYBASE ASE ODBC Driver"="Installed"
- [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\Sybase ASE ODBC Driver]
- "AltDefaults"="1"
- "APILevel"="1"
- "ConnectionFunctions"="YYY"
- "CPTimeout"="60"
- "DriverODBCVer"="04.10"
- "FileUsage"="0"
- "SQLLevel"="0"
- "Driver"="d:\\SybaseASE_ODBC\\ODBC\\SYODASE.DLL"
- "Setup"="d:\\SybaseASE_ODBC\\ODBC\\SYODASES.DLL"
- "HelpRootDirectory"="d:\\SybaseASE_ODBC\\ODBC\\help"
For 32bit win2008, please remove Wow6432Node from the above reg path.
After poplute the above .reg,
On 32bit win2008, you can use odbcad32 to configure ODBC directly.
On 64bit win2008, just run c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32 to configure ODBC DSN.
Hope it can help.
