Summary :
This SAP Note outlines the process for importing a MaxDB ODBC driver, specifically for versions 7.3.00 B33 and above, and 7.4 or higher, intended for use with the Content Server. Key steps include stopping the content server and any related database management tools, importing the new driver release from SAP Software Center, using preparation tools like dbmcli and SAPCAR, and configuring necessary updates to system registry entries to accommodate changes in TCP/IP settings. The note also emphasizes choosing the correct profile during the ODBC driver's installation and provides additional instructions for restarting services post-installation.
