Product: Acu4GL
Module: MSSQL
Machines Affected: Linux only
Acu4GL for MSSQL is now available on certain Linux platforms if you are running a 64-bit shared libraries build of the extend Interoperability Suite; see the Microsoft SQL Server support web pages for an up-to-date list of specific supported platforms.
Your Linux clients can connect to an MSSQL Server on a Linux machine or a Windows machine. You can also use a Windows client to connect to an instance of SQL Server running on Linux. (Note that setting up SQL Server on a Linux machine is beyond the scope of our documentation.)
If you are connecting to a Windows SQL Server, set up your Linux client in the same way that you would when using a Windows client. For setting up a connector to a Linux database, you must run a new script (ms_inst.sh), included with your install, to create the SQL script that creates the stored procedures, tables, error messages, etc. required to connect to the server. Run this script in the same way that you would run ms_inst.cmd on Windows: you execute the script using an argument of the name of a database that will hold the lock tables.
Running this script produces a .sql script, which you must execute using the tools supplied with your SQL Server installation.
The runtime configuration settings are the same for Windows and Linux. See your Acu4GL for MSSQL documentation for those variables.
The connector itself is included as a shared object that can be loaded dynamically by the runtime, so no relinking of the runtime is necessary in order to use the functionality described above.
