Install the unixODBC-devel package with your operating system’s package manager (apt-get, zypper, yum, etc).See the RPM and yum documentation for IBM i for more detailed steps. This package is primarily developed and tested with the IBM i Access ODBC driver, which is supported as part of IBM i software maintenance agreements (SWMA) and comes with no additional licensing fees.
Prerequisitesīefore installing this package, you will need an ODBC driver and a driver manager (with development libraries). Version 0.x of this package was built using the Db2 for i CLI API set, hence the need for important prerequisites (below). The main difference between this and the other packages for IBM i (including v0.x of this package) is that it uses ODBC to communicate to the database. This project is a derivative of loopback-connector-db2iseries and the v0.x loopback-connector-ibmi. This version of the module is significantly different from version 0.x and constitutes a complete rewrite.
Major differences from version 0.x of loopback-connector-ibmi It uses the npm odbc package to connect to the database, so installing an ODBC driver manager and driver and setting up a datasource is required for use (see below). This is a database connectior for Db2 on IBM i intended for use with LoopBack 3 (LoopBack 4 testing soon).
