  • 1.  upgrade freetds package

    Posted 03/17/26 06:30 AM

    Good morning, I work on two iSeries both running version 7.5.
    I went to IBM i Access Solution in the open source package manager and on one iSeries I have freetds version 1.2.18 while on the other I have freetds version 1.4.10.
    Can you tell me why?
    Perhaps I need to recompile the RPM packages in the utilities section?

    Thank you

    Thanks, but when I upgrade, it tells me there's nothing to update.
    Have a nice day.

    Are you getting your packages from a local repository someone in IT downloaded or directly from IBM's repos in the cloud?
    If you believe it's from the cloud, try this:

    yum clean all
    yum update ibmi-repos
    yum update freetds
