The GENESIS_MSG_FILE environment variable specifies the xfODBC error message file.
Value
The path and name of the xfODBC error message file. The default error message file is sql.msg.
Discussion
The GENESIS_MSG_FILE environment variable is automatically set when you install xfODBC.
To generate a system catalog, the dbcreate utility must be able to locate the error message file. If GENESIS_MSG_FILE is set, dbcreate uses this setting to locate the file. If this variable is not set, dbcreate attempts to locate the file sql.msg in the GENESIS_HOME\lib directory.
On WIndows, GENESIS_MSG_FILE is set at the system level by the Connectivity Series feature of the 32-bit and 64-bit Synergy/DE installations, the 32-bit and 64-bit Synergy/DE Client installations, and the 32-bit and 64-bit xfODBC Client installations. If both 32-bit and 64-bit Connectivity Series (or Synergy/DE Client or xfODBC Client) are installed on the same 64-bit machine, GENESIS_MSG_FILE is set by the last version installed.
Setting location
The environment. For client/server configurations, GENESIS_MSG_FILE must be set on both the client and the server. For services such as web servers that use the xfODBC driver, you can use the Env. variables field in the xfODBC Setup window to set this environment variable on the client.
