I wish I didn't need to go back this far, but I was on Vacation (and
decided the group didn't need to hear about it every day, and I didn't need my
own T-shirt either. ;)
My problem actually had nothing to do with 64-bit as Mack pointed out
in his follow-up post. My problem with the uv admin tool was solved when I
finally got patches from my Vendor for UniVerse 10.3, UniVerse 10.2 tools just
did not work with the Java (jre) it came with on a 32-bit 2008 Windows Server,
period (in our environment anyway). I tried it in 6 environments, and 3 were
fresh installs, none worked, but the Informix 9.6 tools worked great ;) My
admin tool finally works in 10.3 though! Yay!
On a Similar note, I have a huge memory leak with the 10.2 ODBC against
Microsoft SQL Server for 2008 (Std) sp1 and 2008 R2 Express w/ Adv Services as
well, that takes my SQL Server to its knees about twice a week if I use a
Linked Server in a Solution, this problem didn't occur in 2005 Dev or 2005 Std
or Enterprise when I used linked Servers. I have not tried getting all my
clients to 10.3 ODBC yet though as I just got the patches before I left for
Vacation. I personally really hate the world of Drivers *sigh* My new
solution is going to be to only use UniOLE calls via .NET and ignore the ODBC
and all Linked Servers all together for Raw Data pulls form our UniVerse box.

Subject: [U2] [UV] UV ODBC Driver Install Problem {unclassified}
Morning all
I am having a problem with installing the UV ODBC 10.3 client on a
Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64-bit server. The Rocket availability matrix shows
that this server version is supported by 10.3 client. I am trying to
install the ODBC drivers from the UniVerse Client 10.3 CD, which has
been copied onto the servers D drive, whilst logged on as a local
administrator.
The install completes without error and there are no related events in
the application or system logs. After a server reboot, the ODBC Admin
tool shows the default User DSN's UV/ODBC Sales Sample and UV/ODBC
Service Sample and these are configured with the IBM UniVerse ODBC
Driver. However when you try to configure them, you get pop up windows
with the error messages "The setup routines for the IBM UniVerse ODBC
Driver ODBC driver could not be found. Please reinstall the driver" and
"Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed Component
not found in the registry". Clicking on the Drivers Tab shows that only
some SQL ODBC drivers are installed. I have tried re-installing the
drivers to no effect.
I checked the registry and the drivers are all listed, including the
Microsoft drivers that should also be showing in the drivers tab of the
ODBC Admin tab. However when I check the System32 folder, the uvodbc.dll
driver is not there. I copied in the uvodbc.dll driver from another
installation but that made no difference. I suspect it needs registering
but I don't know how to do that outside of an install program.
I found an email on this list from 9 Jun 09 where John Wahl had a
problem with the UniAdmin tool on W2k8 server and Michael Dallaire noted
he had a similar problem with the UV ODBC drivers on a 64 bit system.
However, there wasn't a lot more detail. Can anyone elaborate?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
