The DataDirect Oracle Wire Protocol is upgraded from version 7.1 to 8.0. On Windows, the DataDirect Oracle ODBC driver is upgraded from

DWora27.dll

to

DWora28.dll

. On Linux, the driver is upgraded from

DWora27.so

to

DWora28.so

. Existing ODBC connections that use the Oracle ODBC driver

DWora27.so

fail.

After the upgrade, perform the following tasks:

On Linux, if you want to use an existing ODBC connection to connect to an Oracle database, you must update the
odbc.ini
file to point to the ODBC driver path that contains the
DWora28.so
file.
On Windows, if you want to use an existing ODBC connection to connect to an Oracle database, you must create a new data source using the DataDirect 8.0 Oracle Wire Protocol driver.

Informatica dropped support for the DataDirect SQL Server Legacy ODBC Driver file

DWmsss27.x

because DataDirect no longer supports this driver. After you upgrade, existing ODBC connections that use the DataDirect SQL Server Legacy ODBC Driver file

DWmsss27.x

fail. You must use the DataDirect 8.0 New SQL Server Wire Protocol packaged with the Informatica installer, or any ODBC driver from a third-party vendor.

The DataDirect SQL Server ODBC driver is upgraded from

DWsqls27.so

to

DWsqls28.so

on Linux. On Windows, the DataDirect SQL Server ODBC driver is upgraded from

DWsqls27.dll

to

DWsqls28.dll

. Existing connections that use the DataDirect SQL Server ODBC driver

DWsqls27.so

on Linux or

DWsqls27.dll

on Windows fail.

After the upgrade, perform the following tasks on Linux:

To use an existing Microsoft SQL Server connection with the Use DSN property enabled in the connection, you must update the
odbc.ini
file to point to the ODBC driver path that contains the
DWsqls28.so
file.
To use an existing ODBC connection that used the
DWsqls27.so
driver, you must update the
