Altering IDS Features
You can modify, repair, or remove installed features. You can also modify, repair, or
remove a particular copy of the product if you have multiple copies installed on
one computer.
To alter the features and components of your installation, IBM Informix Dynamic
Server provides a dynamic GUI that detects what features are on your server. This
part of the uninstall application not only lets you select and deselect features, but
also repairs any flawed binaries among installed features.
To alter the features of your IDS installation:
v Select Start > Programs > IBM Informix Dynamic Server 11.50 > Modify
Installation or launch the GUI maintenance wizard by opening the
Add/Remove Programs feature of the Control Panel.
v Select the Modify button to alter IDS components and features.
The wizard for modifying IDS features and components enforces certain
dependencies. For example, if you select a feature for removal but do not select
other components that rely on this feature, the wizard does not let you perform
this.
v Select the Repair button to fix any corrupt or missing binaries for installed
features.
v Select the Remove button to remove all features, including all required
components for a working installation. This selection launches the uninstall
program.
Altering Copies of IDS
If you have multiple copies of the same version of IBM Informix Dynamic Server
installed on a computer, you can use the maintenance wizard to modify, repair, or
remove one of the copies. You can also use one of the following command line
options to perform maintenance on a specific copy or uninstall the copy:
-path Specifies the installation path for which maintenance is required. You can
use this command line option with other maintenance options. For
example:
setup.exe -path installation path -s -f1"X:path\response file"
