5.18.1 Patch notes​

Release date

Cinchy version v5.18.1 was released on April 1, 2026.

  • Fixed an issue where the Cinchy Connections WebApi IIS package did not include the correct IBM DB2 native driver libraries for Windows. The build pipeline now produces platform-specific builds for both Linux and Windows (IIS), ensuring that DB2 data sources work correctly on IIS deployments.
Post-upgrade step for IIS customers using DB2

After upgrading Cinchy Connections to v5.18.1 on IIS, you must add the DB2 CLI driver to the system PATH and restart IIS. Run the following in an elevated PowerShell prompt on the machine hosting Cinchy Connections:

$clidriver = "<path\to\clidriver>"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$clidriver\bin;$clidriver\bin\icc64;$env:PATH", "Machine")
iisreset

For example, if Cinchy Connections is installed at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Connections:

$clidriver = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Connections\clidriver"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", "$clidriver\bin;$clidriver\bin\icc64;$env:PATH", "Machine")
iisreset
warning

If the Cinchy Connections Worker is hosted on a separate machine, repeat this process on that machine as well.
