Table 2. What's New in IBM Informix Installation Guide for Windows for Version 11.70.xC1 (continued)
Overview
Reference
Changes to installation commands
Some installation commands changed to take advantage
of new and changed functionality and to improve
consistency across products and operating systems.
The following commands are not available in Informix
11.70 installation media: installserver, installclientsdk,
installconn
. You must use the ids_install command to
install the database server with or without bundled
software. You can still download the standalone IBM
Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK),
IBM Informix Connect, and IBM Informix JDBC Driver
media to install the client software on other computers.
Use the new uninstallids command to remove the server,
any bundled software, or both. You can remove specific
products by using the following commands, which are in
new subdirectories relative to the root directory:
v
uninstall/uninstall_server/
uninstallserver
v
uninstall/uninstall_clientsdk/
uninstallclientsdk
v
uninstall/uninstall_connect/
uninstallconnect
(formerly uninstallconn)
v
uninstall/uninstall_jdbc/
uninstalljdbc.exe
or java
-jar uninstall/uninstall_jdbc/uninstaller.jar
(depending on how you install the JDBC driver)
See the documentation topics in Chapter 2, “Installing
Informix and client products on Windows,” on page 2-1
and Chapter 4, “Removing or modifying Informix and
client products,” on page 4-1.
IBM Data Server Driver Package integrated into
installation application
When you use the Informix installation application on
Windows, you can select to install the IBM Data Server
Driver Package with either Informix Client Software
Development Kit or Informix Connect. You do not need
to download installation media for that product from the
web.
See “Other IBM product installation files” on page 1-5.
Simpler configuration for silent installation
As in previous releases, you can generate a response file
by recording an installation setup done in interactive
mode. However, now you can set configuration
parameters by editing the response file in any text editor
in addition to passing command-line options.
Informix 11.70 comes with one response file,
bundle.properties
, for the server and related products. In
previous releases there were two response files:
server.ini
and bundle.ini.
See “Performing a silent installation of Informix and
client products” on page 2-4.
Information about embedding Informix instances
In the previous release, information about deploying
embedded instances of Informix was documented along
with the information about installing the database server.
In this release, information about deploying embedded
Informix instances can be found in the Embedding
Informix section of the online information center or in the
new IBM Informix Embeddability Guide.
