Configuring the dsenv file
For some ODBC connections, plug-ins, and connectors, and for interactions with external applications such as IBM® WebSphere® MQ, you must add environment variables to enable interactive use of ODBC drivers to make a connection to an ODBC data source.
Before you begin
You must be logged in as an InfoSphere® DataStage® administrator with the operating system credentials on the server for the InfoSphere DataStage administrator.
Back up the dsenv file before you edit it.
About this task
The dsenv file contains a series of shell arguments that are used when the engine starts. Interactive users, other programs, and scripts can use the dsenv file. For a connection that uses a wire protocol driver, you do not have to modify the dsenv file.
