Enable or Disable Usage Statistics on Linux - ODBC Driver for Dynamics 365

Enable or Disable Usage Statistics on Linux

Usage statistics is enabled by default when you install the driver. The graphical installer doesn't provide an option to disable usage statistics. You can disable statistics during package installation or after installation using a console application.

Disable Usage Statistics During Package Installation

To disable usage statistics when installing a DEB or RPM package, set the NOUSAGESTATISTICS environment variable to true.

To disable usage statistics when installing a DEB package, run the following command:

sudo NOUSAGESTATISTICS=true dpkg -i devartodbcdynamics.deb

To disable usage statistics when installing an RPM package, run the following command:

sudo NOUSAGESTATISTICS=true rpm -ivh devartodbcdynamics.rpm

Enable or Disable Usage Statistics After Installation

To enable or disable usage statistics for an installed driver, use a console application.

1. In the console, go to the folder where the driver was installed. The default installation path is:
   • DEB package: /usr/share/devart/odbcdynamics
   • RPM package: /usr/local/devart/odbcdynamics
2. Run the activation command with superuser privileges using the -u option. Set the value to false to disable usage statistics or true to enable it.
   • To disable usage statistics:

     sudo ./dynamicsodbcactivator -u false -i /etc

   • To enable usage statistics:

     sudo ./dynamicsodbcactivator -u true -i /etc
