■ Set INFORMIXDIR.
■ Set PATH.
■ Change your directory to $INFORMIXDIR.
2.
Load OnLine 5.x software:
■ Copy Informix files into the Informix installation directory.

Overview of OnLine Initial Configuration Tasks
OnLine initial configuration includes configuration planning and disk-space
initialization. The rest of this chapter provides instructions for the initial
configuration tasks.
Since OnLine 5.x is already installed in $INFORMIXDIR, you can use a UNIX
editor to examine the configuration file tbconfig.std that is described in the
following pages. You can also access the OnLine monitor facility,DB-Monitor.
To do so, log in as user informix and enter the command tbmonitor at the
command line.
