Almost every system administrator is faced with the work of setting up a Linux server, but beginners often find it difficult to cope with this task. With a certain theoretical base, it is quite possible to learn how to configure servers based on the Linux system.
Necessary
- - Informix Dynamic Server;
- - Informix Software Development Kit.
Instructions
Step 1
To get started, you need the Informix Dynamic Server utility and the Informix Software Development Kit. You can download these products from the link https://www.ibm.com/software/data/informix/downloads.html. Use the console to create a group and create a user named Informix. This user will participate as an administrator account for the Informix database. Do not forget to make sure that this record is securely protected by using complex passwords. Create a directory for installing the utility. The standard directory is / Opt / Informi. Take care of setting the required variables. The INFORMIXDIR variable requires a value that is the path to the directory where Informix was installed.
Step 2
Unzip the Informix content from the resulting tar file. In the event that the developer environment tar files are in the current location, it is enough to execute certain commands to unzip (where name.tar is the name of the file with the tar extension): mv name.tar / opt / informixcd / opt / informixsu informix tar -xvf name.tar After that, take a look at the unzipped files and start installing the IDS software environment. Do not forget that you must use the same / opt / informix directory for this purpose.
Step 3
Unzip the Client SDK development environment tarball into the main / opt / informix directory. After that, start running the installation script script to install the Client SDK development environment. Follow the instructions on the display to complete the installation of this environment. Don't forget to add the sqlhosts file to your future server. This file is located in the main directory / opt / informix / etc. Add the INFORMIXSERVER name to the sqlhosts file that you specified earlier when setting your environment variables. Don't forget to create a file called onconfig. It, like most files, must be located in the / opt / informix / etc installation directory. Then start your server using the following commands: cd / opt / informix / binoninit -i To stop the server, enter onmode -kuy into the console.
