What is the directory for the ODBC drivers in Qlik Replicate?

The Qlik Replicate bin directory is the designated location for binary executables and required dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), which include ODBC drivers. To ensure that the Qlik Replicate server can locate and load the necessary 64-bit drivers for establishing a connection to an ODBC-based endpoint, the driver files must be placed in the \bin folder. This is a standard prerequisite for configuring many database endpoints that rely on ODBC connectivity.

A. \Replicate\data: This directory is used for storing application data, such as task definitions, logs, and transaction files, not executable drivers.

B. \Replicate\users: This is not a standard directory within the Qlik Replicate installation path for storing system-level components like drivers.

D. \Replicate\drivers: While the name seems logical, Qlik Replicate does not use a dedicated \drivers directory by default. It expects necessary libraries and drivers to be in the \bin directory.

1. Qlik Replicate Official Documentation - Setting up Teradata as a source: In the "Prerequisites" section, the instructions state: "Copy the Teradata client libraries (or the entire client installation) to the /bin directory." This confirms the bin directory is the correct location for client libraries, which include the ODBC drivers. (Qlik Replicate Help, "Data sources and targets" -> "Teradata" -> "Setting up Teradata as a source").

2. Qlik Replicate Official Documentation - Setting up Netezza as a source: The "Prerequisites" for configuring a Netezza source explicitly require the user to: "Copy the Netezza client libraries to the /bin directory." This reinforces the standard practice of placing necessary drivers in the bin folder. (Qlik Replicate Help, "Data sources and targets" -> "Netezza" -> "Setting up Netezza as a source").
