ifxdeploy.conf File: The Deployment Utility Configuration File
The ifxdeploy.conf file is a text-file template in which you can configure an
instance snapshot prior to deploying it with the ifxdeploy command.
Purpose
The ifxdeploy.conf file is in $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ on Linux and
%INFORMIXDIR%\etc on Windows.
By using the ifxdeploy.conf file, you can run the deployment utility with fewer
command-line options to configure the instance. You can save and reuse the file to
deploy instances to other locations. The file supports the same functionality as the
ifxdeploy command options, but also additional functionality that is useful for
embedding IDS when you are deploying a snapshot in multiple locations that
require minimal or no modification in instance setup. See “Rapid IDS
Embeddability with the Deployment Utility” on page 5-2 for a description of the
major embeddability features of the ifxdeploy.conf file.
Parameters
The ifxdeploy.conf file is value pair based. If there is a parameter with a default
value that you want to change, provide the value in an uncommented line.
Attention: The values of parameters that are set on the ifxdeploy command line
overwrite the values of the same parameters in the ifxdeploy.conf file.
The following table explains the parameters in the same order that they appear in
the configuration template file.
