instance to function with the DRDA protocol after installation by using the instmgr.exe utility (see “Server Instance Manager Command-Line Options” on page 2-14).

vInstalling database server to run as local system user: To install IDS as a local system account on Windows, you must select a custom installation and complete the configuration setup accordingly. This lets the IDS log in as a Windows service, instead of user informix.

Read “Installing with the GUI Custom Setup” on page 2-3for more information about DRDA support and IDS as local system user.

Installable Features of IDS

 

You can install the following features with the base server: Database Server

 

Extensions, Global Language Support, Backup and Restore, Demos, Data-Loading

 

Utilities, and Administrative Utilities.

 

Base Server

 

The base server refers to the core database server for basic DBA operations without

 

optional extensions, libraries, or utilities. The minimum size of the base server

 

installation is 180 megabytes (MB). Every IBM Informix Dynamic Server

 

installation includes the components of the base server, regardless of whether you

 

choose a typical or custom installation.

 

The base server no longer contains the XML Publishing feature and must be

 

included in your Deployment Wizard selections if you want to install it. XML

 

Publishing is in the Database Server Extensions component.

 

Support for the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) protocol is

 

included in the Base Server. To use the DRDA support functionality with IBM Data

 

Server .NET Provider or IBM Data Server JDBC Driver, you must obtain and install

 

the .NET Provider or JDBC Driver separately.

The IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) is included as a component of the IDS

installation.
