Informatica: wrong odbc.ini file referred by Workflow mappings

I am trying to execute a workflow mapping from within Informatica Workflow. The source being MSSQL Server and target Oracle DB. The mapping alike every other mapping seems to be referring to the system's /etc/odbc.ini file rather than the one sitting in $INFA_HOME/ODBC7.1/odbc.ini.

I've tried checking everything but can't seem to understand how this linking is getting established. I did many hit & trials to confirm which odbc.ini was getting referred and it was always the one sitting under /etc/. The bash_profile's variable ODBCINI is also pointing towards the INFA_HOME location.

Can someone shed some light on how or why the system's odbc.ini is getting referred. Any idea on how is it linked?

We need to set two odbc related parameters in unix/linux users bash profile.

INFA_HOME=/opt/infa
ODBCINI= $INFA_HOME/ODBC7.1/odbc.ini
ODBCINST=$INFA_HOME/ODBC7.1/odbcinst.ini

Now, i feel like, your unix/linux user is not able to reach this location or they arent getting exported properly.
Login using the unix/linux user thats running informatica.

Then use more $ODBCINI to see if it has read permission.
Do same for ODBCINST.
Use ssgodbc tool to check connectivity to your mssql server DB.
