Installing the Connector on Solaris

Note:

The Solaris connector is not available through the Simba website. To get this connector, contact the Sales & Solutions team:

The Simba Apache Hive ODBC Connector is available for Solaris as a tarball package named Simba Apache Hive ODBC Connector_Solaris-_gcc_[Version].[Release]_ Solaris.tar.gz, where [Version] is the version number of the connector and [Release] is the release number for this version of the connector. The package contains both the 32- bit and 64-bit versions of the connector.

On sparc64 editions of Solaris, you can execute both sparc and sparc64 applications. However, sparc64 applications must use 64-bit connectors, and sparc applications must use 32-bit connectors. Make sure that you use the version of the connector that matches the bitness of the client application. You can install both versions of the connector on the same machine.

To install the Simba Apache Hive ODBC Connector on Solaris:

  1. Log in as the root user, and then navigate to the folder containing the tarball package.
  2. Run the following command to extract the package and install the connector:

    3. tar --directory=/opt -zxvf [TarballName]

    Where [TarballName] is the name of the tarball package containing the connector.

    The Simba Apache Hive ODBC Connector files are installed in the /opt/simba/hive/ directory.

  3. If you received a license file via email, then copy the license file into the /opt/simba/hive/lib/32 or /opt/simba/hive/lib/64 folder, depending on the version of the connector that you installed. You must have root privileges when changing the contents of this folder.

Next, configure the environment variables on your machine to make sure that the ODBC driver manager can work with the connector. For more information, see Configuring the ODBC Driver Manager.
