Hi,
I'm in Raleigh, so DataDirect is right nearby. Also, I
know their current managers, etc. I worked with them
on my last contract, and know something about their
stuff.
We needed an ODBC driver from our ETL DataStage UNIX
server to an Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (old
version) client running on Windows NT. The DataDirect
guys really helped us out, especially with contact
info for Sybase ASA.
As I remember, the ETL DataStage wire-protocol was
considered anything 'provided' with their product,
e.g. Sybase 11. Therefore, 'non' wire-protocol was 3rd
party like our Sybase ASA ODBC driver. We could still
use the DataStage Driver Manager to configure the 3rd
party ODBC. Too much information. Sorry. Whatever...
:-)
Send me an email and maybe I can help with info.
Regards,
Mike Thomas
