Installing the Connector on Debian

To install the connector on a Debian machine, use the Debian package instead of the RPM file.

On 64-bit editions of Debian(Non-ARM machine), you can execute both 32- and 64-bit applications. In this case, 64-bit applications must use 64-bit drivers, and 32-bit applications must use 32-bit drivers. Make sure that you use the version of the connector that matches the bitness of the client application:

  • workday_[Version]-[Release]_i386.deb for the 32-bit connector
  • workday_[Version]-[Release]_amd64.deb for the 64-bit connector

[Version] is the version number of the connector, and [Release] is the release number for this version of the connector.

You can install both versions of the connector on the same machine.

To install the Simba Workday ODBC Connector on Debian:

  1. Log in as the root user, and then navigate to the folder containing the Debian package for the connector.
  2. Double-click workday_[Version]-[Release]_i386.deb or workday_[Version]-[Release]_amd64.deb.
  3. Follow the instructions in the installer to complete the installation process.

    The Simba Workday ODBC Connector files are installed in the /opt/simba/workdayodbc directory.

  4. If you received a license file via email, then copy the license file into the /opt/simba/workdayodbc/lib/32 or /opt/simba/workdayodbc/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.
