What’s New in IBM Informix Dynamic Server Installation, Version 11.50
This publication includes information about new features and changes in existing
functionality.
The following changes and enhancements are relevant to this publication. For a
comprehensive list of all new features for this release, see the IBM Informix
Dynamic Server Getting Started Guide.
Table 1. What’s New in Version 11.50.xC6
Overview Reference
Simplified Deployment of an IDS Instance
You can set configuration parameters, essential
environment variables, and SQLHOST connectivity
information in a deployment utility configuration file
(ifxdeploy.conf). You can reuse the file to deploy
instances with the deployment utility. When you plan to
embed a snapshot of the same instance in multiple
locations, you can use the customized configuration file
to centralize the installation setup work and ensure that
the deployed instances are consistent.
If you do not specify certain environment variables when
you run the ifxdeploy command, or set them in an
ifxdeploy.conf file, the deployment utility sets values
based on the process environment.
See “ifxdeploy.conf File: The Deployment Utility
Configuration File” on page 5-10.
Dynamic dbspace Relocation when Deploying Snapshots
You can dynamically reconfigure the chunk paths of a
snapshot by using the -relocate option of the deployment
utility. The -relocate option initializes the dbspaces
required for deploying the template instance without a
separate step for disk space initialization.
See “Rapid IDS Embeddability with the Deployment
Utility” on page 5-2.
Table 2. What’s New in Version 11.50.xC5
Overview Reference
Deploying IDS with the Deployment Utility (Windows)
This command-line utility facilitates faster deployment of
a configured IDS instance. This utility is currently
available on Windows. The utility can be called
programmatically or from a script as part of an
application installation, and therefore supports completely
silent IDS deployment.
See Chapter 5, “Deploying IDS with the Deployment
Utility,” on page 5-1.
