Installing FileMaker ODBC and JDBC client drivers 13
ODBC client driver installation (Mac OS)
If you have previously installed the ODBC client driver for Mac OS, uninstall it before installing an updated
version.
To install the ODBC client driver:
From the folder /xDBC/ODBC Client Driver Installer, copy the file SequeLink.bundle to either your System
or User library. If you don’t have an /ODBC folder, create one manually:
Note If you logged in using an account that has administrator privileges, then no changes to permissions
are necessary after you create the /ODBC folder. The ODBC folder must have the following permissions:
1 Owned by root, admin group
1 Read/Write/Execute permissions for root and admin
1 Read/Execute permissions for other accounts
This client driver has been tested with ODBC Administrator 1.0.2 (available with Mac OS 10.4.11) and
ODBC Administrator 1.1 (available with Mac
OS 10.5.4).
Important Use the ODBC Administrator bundled with the ODBC driver manager software recommended
for your client application.
JDBC client driver installation (Windows and Mac OS)
The installation program and the JDBC client driver work on both Windows and Mac OS. You must have
write access to the folder where you’re installing the JDBC client driver. By default, the folder that contains
the installation program is the installation folder.
If you have previously installed the JDBC client driver, uninstall it before installing an updated version.
To install the JDBC client driver:
1. Open the folder \xDBC\JDBC Client Driver Installer, then double-click sljcinstaller.jar.
The DataDirect SequeLink for JDBC 5.5 Installer window appears.
Note Your Java Runtime environment should be associated with .JAR archive files. Other applications
may also be associated with .JAR archive files, such as WinZip or Stuffit. If so, they can prevent the
JDBC Installer from opening. If the Installer window does not open, start either a command window
(Windows) or Terminal window (Mac OS) and change to the JDBC Client Driver folder. From here, you
can start the installer by typing the following command:
java -jar sljcinstaller.jar.
Library
Copy SequeLink.bundle
to this folder: Use this driver path during configuration:
System /Library/ODBC /Library/ODBC/SequeLink.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ivslk20.dylib
User /Users/<user>/Library/ODBC /Users/<user>/Library/ODBC/SequeLink.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
